Any suggestions for trouble-shooting the crashes?
Have you checked the systemd journal?
Even after you reboot frozen system you can see last syslog messages
easily from previous boot with this command:
$ sudo journalctl -b -1
Journald keeps logs from multiple previous boots.
$ sudo journalctl --list-boots
You can select them by index. ( "0" is current boot, "-1" is previous
boot, etc. )

# journalctl -b -1
Specifying boot ID or boot offset has no effect, no persistent journal
was found.
2021-01-03 14:01:29 root@dipsy ~
# journalctl --list-boots

No of much use (?).
Start Firefox, browse YouTube, play video "Relaxing Christmas Jazz Music
10 Hours" (not in full screen) -- crashes after ~50 minutes:

Again, not of much use (?). How do I get information out of the systemd
journal?
dmesg(1) has some information, both about boot and the crash:
