If you have another machine lying around, try setting up netconsole and/or serial console logging. They should catch any dying messages from your kernel. Blinking LEDs indicates a panic, which means you should get a message in those cases, at least. Using serial console is the easiest and most reliable way, but requires a serial cable. Netconsole just uses ethernet but isn't as reliable. Take a look at Documentation/serial-console.txt and Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt under your kernel source directory for more info.
