Are you, by any chance, trying to read from the NTFS partition when
the crashes occur?  NTFS support in linux is quite experimental (at
least the last time I checked) largely due to MS not providing
documentation.  It's possible that the ntfs module is causing the
problems.  OTOH, since you recall heavy disk activity at the time of
the crash, that the driver module for your disk(s) and/or
controller(s) is causing the problem.

Those are the designations for general purpose registers on x86
processors.
