I remapped the capslock key to be third level shift ³ or fourth level ¼ if used with normal shift and in the unlikely scenario where I need capslock, I hit both shifts at the same time to toggle it.

Now I can do all sorts of neat symbols! ∞÷⍉±0≠¡⍶⍹⍷§⌾M€⍥

Others mentioned that it sounds hardware related. That reminded me that you should visually inspect all ports, especially unused ones. I had a system locking up constantly once and it turned out to be from debris in a usb port on one of the monitors was causing a short. It’s something that wont necessarily cause logged errors and can cause seemingly random behaviour that will have one chasing problems that don’t exist. USB ports and DVI plugs especially can be hard to notice with how they are constructed. Audio jack holes too. Make sure there’s no breaks in any cords. It seems too simple to be true and then it happens and you feel foolish for not having thought of it.

Thanks!

Unrelated to the point of your post, regarding the warning placed after the link. In the future, consider putting the warning BEFORE the link. This is an issue I’ve noticed more and more lately, where warnings come at the end or after the description of something to do which requires a warning. People are often impulsive and will click or perform actions without reading ahead. An example that is probably not the best example, which I like to use regardless, is (Warning, do not try this alone!) autoerotic asphyxiation. It can have serious consequences. Providing the instructions on how to do it, spoken/written in a positive manner, without preceding it with a warning, I’d say is without exception, a bad idea.
