Hardware diagnostics package


Is there a good hardware diagnostics package available that can run from a live CD? I have a server in my lab running FC5 that had been running stable for months. Without any changes to the system, it is constantly crashing now. At times it won't even boot. I don't suspect the system configuration as it had been running for several months without any issues at all. I am thinking it might be a hard drive or memory issue but would like to run some diagnostics to narrow things down.
