you should set your machine up to do a savecore when it crashes.
after you get the core file, 

cd /var/crash/`hostname`
adb -k vmunix.0 vmcore.0
$c
$q

The $c should show you a traceback complete with the names
of the routines that were being executed when the crash occurred.

It may help you determine what your problem is.
