It could be a kernel bug or hardware related, perhaps I can offer some
troubleshooting ideas?:

- is the system completely unresponsive? And if so, are the caps
lock/scroll locks lights flashing? If they are, it's a kernel panic.
- can you ctrl+alt+F1 into another console and log in?
- check the logs for any suspect errors right after you reboot. Even
boot into text mode only to avoid loading X (recovery mode from the
GRUB menu)
- check the system logs and X11 logs:
