Crash means in this case it shuts down as in turns off. Just like shutdown. It just clicks (audible sound) and the screen goes black. I need to press the start button to reboot.
Sounds like a hardware problem, but try looking in system.log using
Console.app to see if there are any clues... but i sorta doubt it.
Does the click sound like the disk, or some other physical part?
You can try the links in my sig... but if it's a hardware bug,
they won't help much. if you can reliably reproduce this at
will (or even if you can't, i suppose), take it to an authorized
Apple repair center.
(make an appointment by phone first, just in case).
