Frequent Server Problems

We have many HP Proliant servers (ML350 G5, DL380 g5,g6) in Data Center.

in this year I notice that problems of hard drive failure and RAM hang and Power Supply failure occur more than once.

we have checked our power systems UPS and earthing and they are OK.

What do you think the problem?

and I have two ML350 g5 servers with same problem, and the problem occur in different times for each server.

In the first, I doubt that there static in servers, but we have check the UPS and the Earthing and they are OK.

What are the reasons that can cause these problems?
