However, it does sound rather far-fetched without knowing more details.  Of course, if your Helix server is sitting in the same room as one of the Large Hadron Collider's superconducting magnets at CERN, then yes!  ;-)

The server computer has been moved to two different physical locations within the facility and there seems to be no change in the crashiness.

I think I'm about ready to rule out EMF as a possible cause.

Thanks for the other suggestions!
