Server crashes can occur for many reasons. Sometimes there is a server hardware problem, or two hard drives in a RAID 5 crash, but most server crashes are caused by Windows server and software issues.This is part of a regular server maintenance plan.

Server crashes are usually preceded by error log notifications, which means if a technician is monitoring the server, he will be notified of a problem before a crash occurs, thus allowing him to prevent it. This is part of regular server maintainance plan.
