Depends, i have seen hardlocks where you don't get an oops, the nmi watchdog will work if the kernel is still running but say stuck in a busy loop and without the timer interrupt firing. Sometimes upping the interval by using idle=poll does help me out. Otherwise your cpu or kernel is really in a bad state.
