Sometime that just happens.  I've, also, seen the opposite (a PC dies a
fiery death with Windows).

If you have the ability, you can try getting the computer to output a
log to a serial port, and have another computer monitor it while you
crash it.  That's one technique to debug a computer that crashes very
badly.

Ask someone else for advise on setting that up, though.  It's a very
long time since I've played with serial ports, and you probably do need
a PC with genuine serial ports to try that.
