You might try isolating the problem to the graphics gear. Reboot the
machine, then get to a non-gui login terminal with CTRL+ALT+F2. Login
using the command prompt. Then issue:
systemctl set-default multi-user.target
And then reboot. That will disable the graphical gear.
Then see if the machine continues to crash.
When ready, the gui can be (re)enabled with:
systemctl set-default graphical.target
