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
- try running for a while with the nv driver not the nvidia 3d driver
that may give good idea as to what is going on (alas 'it froze' isn't a
good diagnostic in itself)
