So its not actually a crash. On the 2 occasions it has happened, I have been away from my computer for a while, and when I return and move the mouse, I can see messages scrolling on a black screen (no X running). I can move to a new vt but I cannot log in. When I try to log in I just get the errors repeating on the screen. After I do a hard reset everything works perfectly. No errors anywhere.
Have you tried a memory test? Those symptoms and the smart output make me think the problem is in hardware other than the drive itself. Memory is the easiest to check and the easiest to remedy.
