I've also seen problems like that caused by a bad sector in a
swap partition and a bad disk controller card/cable. Since it's
a laptop, another possibility is overheating due to faulty
fan-speed control.
IMO, there's a 95% or better chance it's a hardware problem.
RAM is the easiest to test (and the easiest to fix), so start
there.
