Try to login from a remote computer via ssh and check if that still
works. Maybe is just X what crashed.

System crashes can be hard to debug. They can be software (problematic
VGA or wireless driver) or hardware related (bad ram, micro or a hard
disk error).
Should you had the oppotunity, leave the system with no X server loaded
at all (yes, I'm aware that having a non graphical environment is not
very convenient for most of the users but if the crash tends to manifest
very quickly and your system is still up after -let's say- 30 minutes
then you may have a clue...
Also, look at the logs, just in case there is a kernel "oops" or
something that can help you to find the origin of the crash.
