Forgive me if I'm stating the obvious, but since it won't reboot
immediately after, only if you let it rest a while, sounds to me
very much like a heat-kind-of-thing.
Be absolutely certain that nothing is overheating. Maybe try
touching some of the chips in the box (*while also touching metal on
the box* -don't want nothin' dying from static!). Maybe something
gets too hot?
Just my 2c.
