CentOS 5 Crashing regularly, nothing in logs

CentOS 5 Crashing regularly, nothing in logs

I am running CentOS 5.7, it is crashing almost every day and nothing is indicated in the /var/log/messages.

It stops responding to ping requests and there is no network traffic to and from it. The system does not present these problems when running in a vm, only when running directly on the hardware. I have run this system on various hardware configurations and it happens only on the hardware systems.

I am out of ideas as to what the problem can be. I have googled everything i can think of related to crashing and network problems.

Here is the a copy of the entries in the messages /var/log/messages file from one of the incidents:
