My first question is, what do you mean by "hard" crashing? Is it kernel panic, or just becoming unresponsive or frozen?
I used to support a client that had about half a dozen old Mac Pro towers.
Kernel Panic's have indicated in two occasions a bad display card (Mac Pro 1,1). On another, it was the motherboard.
Often I have seen systems became slow and unresponsive just prior to an HD going bad. Go to an SSD if you haven't already, gives them quite a boost.
Most recently, I had an interesting one. It was Chrome browser, which auto updates. I had to scrub the system of all things chrome and google, install Chrome fresh and disable "Use hardware acceleration when available" to get it running right. Now my system is doing fine again.
This is all in addition to using Altsoft Disk Warrior routinely to keep a drive healthy, and a good malware program. The apple store has Bitdefender Virus Scanner for free.
YMMV
