3rd day in row that I keep troubleshooting the crashes. It takes so long because the freezes occur randomly from few minutes till 2-3 hours after the last reboot. So far peripherals are not the cause, now I'm trying to do hardware checks via USB boot.
Still no visible pattern or evidence that would lead to any direction, but at some point I noticed while I was watching a video that the video froze a frame before continuing for a second and then computer crashed. This makes me think of possible oddities with the CPU (it's a hybrid with internal graphics), even though there's no visible evidence that CPU's usage was odd during that time. Probably unrelated though.

It's been a full week of troubleshooting going on, because it's so random when the freezes/crashes will occur. It varies from few minutes to several hours. Now I started removing more parts of the hardware. A quick test of the power supply with the oscilloscope didn't show anything. Only a very small deviation, but within the acceptable levels. The GPU isn't issue for sure. Now I have to test the drives by installing the OS on the other drive and remove the primary one... It's so tiring taking so long to troubleshoot computer issues, especially if it's hardware related. I don't miss doing that 10 years ago..
