6.4.2 does have some bug fixes for the RN104 (in particular a bug with the RAID-5 hardware acceleration).
But I would check the OS partition first. I'd also update backups (though that might be challenging with the short up-time).

so since upgrading to 6.4.2 and disabling AV, I've not had a crash. The UI is very slow but that may be the resyncing that is only at about 7% so far, so thanks for the advice

Kind regards,
