Ok - the kernel flashes the lights when it detects a crash that is why I
ask.

Then you probably need to talk to Nvidia as they have source for their
drivers and our kernel but the same is not true. If the box used to be
reliable and isn't then I'd also see what happens if you
- boot an older kernel
- check the box isn't overheating, fans failed etc
Overheating could be an issue with me at least. The laptop was lying in
a room with the room temperature touching 40 degree Celsius. My older
Compaq Presario Centrino has been sturdy enough to beat the Indian heat
conditions so this didn't cross my mind.
