That sure is enough cpu cores free, the problem then could be cpu temps if you are down to 85% now and it's still crashing.

It looks like you were right. I set CPU usage down to 25% and it hasn't crashed in a few days.

I was convinced it was the GPU, but it looks like in doing so I didn't properly diagnose whether it was the CPU. Good catch, and many thanks (=

No problem it's often hard to figure out the problem if you are doing multiple things at the same time. Now you can inch it back upwards a little at a time to figure out where your max is if you are interested, if not 25% will work just fine.
