kern.log.0 shows a general protection fault in it (see attached), but I think that happened during shutdown (usplash). The kernel rarely manages to restart the computer on a shutdown or restart cycle, but stops instead near the end of shutdown (no consoles show any output) and needs to be restarted with a ctrl-alt-del. Obviously it's not a kernel panic though. Might this be related?

I've been leaving it with a console on the display while unattended, but it has been running fine now since Friday afternoon. The kernel got an update yesterday as well. I'll see about setting up netconsole but I only have another computer to send output to when I'm at home and most of the crashes have happened at work.
