Do a fresh install of Debian Stable using only official Debian packages, make as few configuration changes as possible (e.g. /etc/*), run the laptop as your primary desktop for a week, and see what happens:

1. If the laptop is stable, then the most likely root cause was scrambled software.

2. If the laptop is unstable, then the most likely root cause is immature Linux support. In this case, re-install Windows and run that as your primary desktop for a week:

a. If the laptop is stable, your hardware is good and the problem was immature Linux support. Install a hypervisor and build a Debian VM.

b. If the laptop is unstable, then root causes include hardware and immature Windows support. Return or repair the laptop.
