FPSlimit not active in editor. Could it be heat?

I have found that slowing the GPU down to 3/4 os default allows a cooler operation. 8)

Logmate and Task Manager would be a good start, it'd show if a crash happened when hardware, the OS, the game, or any combination of was *stressed*.
Big advantage of those is you already have 'em, so no extra expense and the results are fairly easy to understand :)

I know you have checked TS for PONtrack.bin files, just in case you missed any logmate well tell you if you have any.
