As long as it's "capture and then look at it later" (which is probably the case if you're capturing full-on GigE), yes.

However, if it's a kernel panic, the issue may have nothing to do with whether you're watching the traffic while you're 
capturing it, and may pop up even with a relatively simple userland network->file code path, or with a faster CPU, 
or....
