macos catalina 10.15.4 freezes, restarts of crushes several times a day

After last update my experience with macOS is frustrating.

My MacBook Pro 15 2018 restarts several times a day in no significant correlation with processes running, load, temp and anything else I could check on my computer.

I cleaned up the insides, I reinstalled macOS fresh. System continues to freeze and sometimes after longer freezes - restart. (kick me out to log in screen).

Console (crush and spin reports) display issues with Windows Server, and once with Visual Studio.

To trouble shoot further you can:

Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262

Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. Login and test. Reboot and test as caches get rebuilt.

This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.

Test issue in another user (or guest user) account https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204443

This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
