PostgreSQL terminated by signal 58

I'd say just add an audit rule for that (into /etc/audit/audit.rules, and 
restart audit daemon)

Say (untested):

-a always -S kill -F a1=58

man auditctl for more info

I don't think it has anything to do with hardware, and I haven't seen any 
driver yet killing applications with odd signals like that.
