This is really interesting - I have been having the random restarting for ages now and I tracked it down to tasks that require the processor to multi-thread. My less-than-ideal fix to date has been to use the "cpus=1" boot flag. This completely eliminated random restarts during Photos, Handbrake, and other intensive operations - unfortunately it also limits theutility of the machine. I am going to try the manual voltage settings and remove the cpus=1 boot flag and see if the system is stable. Will report back.
Update: I was not able to get a stable CPU with any voltage under 1.415. I have been running at that voltage for an hour or so and ran geekbench which is usually enough to crash the system and its still up. Temps were bouncing of 99C during the tests though. Running at 38.3C now during a large file transfer. Will keep you posted.
