Laptop freezes with blinking capslock LED

I have a Thinkpad P52 laptop with endevouros installed. It works for days sometimes with no issues, then out of the blue it freezes with the caps lock blinking. This happens about twice a month and it's about time I understand what's causing it because it happened last time using a system update and completely rendered my computer unusable. This issue happened to me this morning around 11:39 as soon as I resumed from sleep mode. Here's the output of journalctl: https://pastebin.com/Bn4UVLEV.

The symptoms describe a kernel panic, you're not getting that logged in a journal.

There're known issues w/ the nvidia 550xx drivers that might cause this, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=293400
