Nessus is hard locking my laptop randomly during scans, it isn't a
kernel panic, it just completely locks up, no console, no ssh access.

It randomly happens, I can't trace it to a specific host that is being
scanned or nasl that is being run. I have looked into nessusd.messages &
nessusd.dump and neither of them have any error messages (besides the norm.)

What steps are suggested to help diagnose what could be causing my problem?

Here is want is in my /var/log/messages right before I had to hard power
