If its not the hardware; & the support guys have confirmed its the OS. check for stop error codes.
compare System event files... "system UPTIME" file.... compare the time when the server crashed, what programs were running... etc etc.

I know this may be a bit obvious but make sure you have the latest drivers for the new additions.
Also did the Hardware guys do a comprehsive test on the RAM modules?
Does the server shutdown to off or does it restart(bounce)?

We have the same OS and Server ML 570. Server shutdown sporadical. HP says it is OS failure. Any solutions or ideas for this case?
