debugging sudden shutdown issues

My laptop is experiencing sudden shutdowns, the whole system just goes black. It happened both on battery and while plugged-in. This didn't occur under Ubuntu and I am not doing CPU-intensive stuff when it happens so it is unrelated to heat problems. I'd say it is most likely a software issue.

I am running Archlinux x86_64 with Cinnamon 2.2.3-3, display manager is lightdm 1.10.0-2. The laptop is an ASUS Zenbook UX31-E.

I am looking for ideas to solve this problem. I have installed laptop-mode-tools to save power, perhaps it is at cause.

I checked journalctl, lightdm.log.old and Xorg.0.log.old without any hint of problem.

Any ideas?
