My SE started to crash at random times.  It would boot and run for hours or
run for 30 seconds.  Sometimes a sad mac came up with random codes in it.
Finally in desparation I banged once on the top of the box.  Then I noticed 
that the date was set to the year 1935.  I fixed the date and I haven't had
a crash for several days now.  I had the problem under system 6.0.2 as well as
an earlier version.  Has anyone else had a similar problem or has a theory
why a 1935 date would cause problems?
