I have been having similar issues, but could zero it to Overheating as hardware and RAM tests were ok. When my laptop was overheating, no matter how many times I rebooted it, it still crashed with blinking Caps-Lock and I had to manually power off and restart. But one weird thing I noticed here is that, the laptop never failed to crash in the GUI mode when overheating. But when I used one of the consoles (Ctrl+Alt+F1-F6) it didn't crash at all. But when I tried to return to the GUI, it promptly crashed. Could there be any explanations for this?
