Hi.
Yes, it is unusual. It's the fact that it only crashes after a period of time/activity which would suggest it's not a hardward fault and is a combination of something wrong with the filesystem and this particular version of the OS.
I hope I don't have to swap to a new machine and/or fresh installation. I do have a copy of the data but it's going to be a looooong restoration process. Having said that, at this stage, even if the problem were fixed my confidence level wouldn't be high.
I've been asked to reboot techsupport mode with a USB. Hopefully they can get some useful info written to the USB.

You might well be right that it is software, but I don't think this symptom rules out hardware. For instance, If there's memory corruption due to faulty block of memory, it could well take a while to cause an outright crash.

Actually migrating to a replacement RN104 would be simpler (and much faster than the fresh installation).
I hope it all gets sorted quickly.
