I have had similar experiences with my Lenovo quadcore laptop.
Sometimes it goes to sleep even though I have set it up not to go to
sleep when plugged in. I have to hold the power button to wake bring
it back to usability . I think you have a Win 10 issue.... I have a
lot of issues with Win 10 that I am waiting for fixes to show up..... or not.

Doubt it's heat-while it has a 1060 in it I wasn't using it for
gaming *any* of those times, and there were plenty of times I was
running Mad Max at 1080p, and a couple times at 4k even and I could
hear the fans spin up and it def get hot, but it never had problems
then...in fact, when I had the two issues in quick succession on
6/22 it was in my lap on a tray and I had a fan blowing on it and I
thought it was b/c I got it too cold or something like that actually...!
Power...it's been plugged into the same third party power block that
Xoticpc sold me with the laptop (thing is massive) and it was on my
desk the other times...I just leave it plugged in and on so it stays
fully charged...are you thinking surges? It's plugged into a strip...
Any other ideas anyone? :P

Win10 Pro a couple months ago from XoticPC who did a couple
customizations for me-received 3/15/17. I thought last month that
it started locking up on me-no response except if I hold the power
button down and shut it off and then power it up.

just restore the OS-but I haven't really installed that much and
would rather figure out the problem (if I can) before I reinstall
and run into it again.

3 mins after the first one that day, the second one on 6/26
happened only 6 seconds after boot if I'm reading these timestamps
right...though I didn't notice until the next day, which is when I rebooted.
