Hi Greg. Kinda leaning this way too, but first you should consider any changes made to the system lately, such as OS upgrades or APPS.
Other causes?
Heat maybe. Rendering should trigger this consistantly. Reset the SMC. Check the fan speeds and for dust on the boards. You can use widgets to monitor various component temps and fan speed. These are useful on machines that render a lot.
GPU maybe. Though it's more likely in laptops vs towers. Seen any odd screen artifacts? This only gets worse over time. For that matter, ANY card could be failing, such as storage HBA's.
A bad cpu battery will cause startup and settings problems - not what you are reporting though. Change it anyway. They are cheap.
A recurring low power condition? Caused by faulty wiring, bad power supply (rare) or FAILING UPS (very common).
Mismatched of bad RAM?
As far as software vs hardware, run the system hardware test. Watch the Activity Monitor for signs of APP memory, disk or energy hogging. (Or virus/antivirus activity). Good crash data may be collecting in your console logs too.
Happy Hunting. RT
