Hard reboot with binking caps lock and num lock lights DELL XPS M1530

After returning from work I saw my DELL XPS M1530 had hung and there was blinking CAPS and NUM lock indicators, I had to hard reboot.
This has happened with me some times.
How can I investigate? Is there some log which i can see after hard reboot?
I am on kdemod 4.1.3 with nvidia stable driver

I had similar issues with a sony vaio, it ended up being a hardware fault.  You may want to investigate that route.  Memtest possibly?

I used to have that problem on my laptop also. It seems to plague a good number of XPS 1530 owners. From what I can tell the problem seems to be either graphics card drivers or wireless card drivers. Do you happen to have the intel 4965agn card? If not, what hardware do you use for wireless and graphics?

It seems the problem has vanished and had to do something with kernel panic

Out of curiosity, did you run a pacman -Syu before it seemed to disappear? Even though you got it working, I'm curious as to how because there are some xps 1530 owners including myself who have had the same thing happen.
