This sounds like hardware, but it could be a bug related to your

You'll need to get a debug kernel and produce a traceback for us to have
any chance of doing anything for you.  See the kernel debugging chapter
of the Developers Handbook for info:

Until we know what's wrong we can't possiably answer that question.  A
number of systems running 5.3 are in production and stable, but it's a
new release.
