Hardware Failure only with Server 2003

I'm experiencing an odd problem with 2 identical SuperServer 6021I by Super
Micro. If I load Server 2003, the machines will run for a day or two and then
crash. When I power down the machine and power them back up it cannot find
the build on the disks. If I pull the power and restart it will run normally
for a day or two and then experience the same problem.

My first though was a RAID driver issue but I have tried bypassing the RAID
drives and running just off a hard drive (new hardware on the IDE controller
card) and the same thing happens.

The machines do not do this with Server 2000.

Any thoughts why this would only happen with 2003?

Thanks, Dan
