I managed to identify the problem as hardware, as it coincides with physical stresses on the laptop. When I plugged in external peripherals and left the laptop itself alone, the problem did not reoccur.

I have worked around this by booting back into linux-image-4.13.0-31-generic which is working fine on my hardware even with loads of browsers up and playing video and everything.
