Which kernel?  Which thinkpad?  dmesg?  other logs?  Using KMS?

ThinkPads reboot themselves due to kernel bugs, yes, but this is not
very common.  Most kernel bug failure modes will cause hangs and OOPSes,
unless you're using a watchdog that would reboot the box if it hangs.
Are you?

Please give the box a memtest run (at least 4H, but 24H would be best),
make sure all memory modules are well seated, that the fan is clean, and
that the box does not overheat rapidly when you put it through a cpuburn
workload (to check for grown defects in the thermal interface between
the CPU and heatsink system).

You might also want to check if it is not a bug in the GPU driver that
happens sometimes, e.g. after a suspend/resume/suspend/resume cycle...
These are exceendingly common nowadays, and the situation should not get
much better in the short term...

You pressed NumLock.  Ignore any crap about 0x6000... it is a Red
Herring[1]
