  This is almost certainly a hardware fault of some kind.

  One simple test you may be able to try, if your security policy
permits it, is to revert to the kernel you were using earlier, and see
if the problem goes away.  My guess is that you will find the random
shut-downs will continue, but there is no substitute for trying it.
