Updated to Catalina last night and now suffering a crash every 10 to 30 minutes. I was initially using Firefox, but swapped to Chrome for last few crashes, so not a compatibility problem there. Nothing else other than Mail and Acrobat Reader open.

I suggest at this point to run an EtreCheck report and post it here so that we can help you troubleshoot your notebook.

I disconnected Drive File Stream and it stopped crashing.
Here is attached my EtreCheck report
Top Processes Snapshot by CPU:
Process (count) CPU (Source - Location)
Other processes 81.64 % (?)
EtreCheck 9.32 % (App Store)
ControlStrip 0.54 % (Apple)
com.apple.WebKit.Networking.xpc 0.29 % (Apple)
AntivirusforMac 0.20 % (Bitdefender SRL)
Ok, thanks. It would help if you provided the full report. Especially with Drive Access enabled so that I can see if there are any kernel panics or diagnostics reports available.
All I can tell from this report is that you're running an AV app on your Mac. AV apps are not necessary and tend to cause more issues than resolve them. However, it's a personal choice. Regardless, I would suggest that you temporarily disable it, at least, to see if this helps at all.
Same problem here.
I suspect Drive File Stream is the cause, because I have two MacBookPros, both of them updated to Catalina and using same apps except Drive, and the one with it crashes every now and then.
That is the report from running as Admin. Running as user it looks like Google Drive File Stream is going out of control and maxing out the processing power
