Another idea may be applied if you can find a thermal camera .

During computer working loaded heavily , you may inspect mother board ,
cables , or  other related parts , carefully with a thermal camera .

If any point on a circuit connection line , or a circuit component , there
is (are) significantly hot point(s) ,
it may be likely that such point(s)  is ( are ) causing cracks or loose
connection(s)  separated to discontinue the current sufficiently
long time to cause a boot ( i.e. , reset ) the computer .
