I had similar and similarly-weird problems caused by a faulty video
card. After removing it, I could see that the capacitors were
domed/cracked and the card obviously got fried somehow... it still
worked most of the time, but was unstable (especially coming out of
power-saving it would exhibit problems or freeze the system). I could
usually still SSH in from another machine and do a proper shutdown, but
not always.
