how strong the EMF is to the one computer it's crashing on; what's insulating
the said computer, etc. Remember the Inverse Square Law. 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! ;-)

Sounds like a potential nasty power environment.
Does the server have proper AC power conditioning?
Has the server AC power been isolated (run off of UPS)
and failures still seen?
