Hi @jeremiah1 Do you have the latest software? ,also ensure that all Apps from the Galaxy and Google stores are up to date.
It could be a third party app causing a conflict, to test this start your Device in Safe Mode https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-to-start-my-galaxy-device-in-safe-mode/ If there is no problem here should be able to pinpoint apps which may be causing a conflict, may need to uninstall recent apps.
However if this does not resolve it or you have not downloaded third party app recently it would be advisable to clear the cache partition. This deletes temporary cache files but keeps your Data intact. can help with crashes/freezes and is advisable after updates. Follow these steps:
1. Turn off the device.
2. Connect To Computer or plug in USB-C Headphones , Press and hold the Volume Up key and then press and hold the Power key
3. When the Android logo displays, release all three keys.
4. Wait until the Android system recovery menu options appear.
5. Press the Volume down key several times to highlight wipe cache partition.
6. Press Power key to select.
7. Press the Volume down key to highlight yes, them and press the Power key to select.
8. When the wipe cache partition is complete, Reboot system now is highlighted.
9. Press the Power key to restart the device.
You can also Repair apps from the same Recovery Menu.

I have cleared cache partition but there was no change.
Also as for the safe mode, there is no way I can be sure it is a third party app. Sometimes the phone could work for hours without any problems and sometimes every 5 minutes it freezes and restarts. Since I don't know when it going to restart, I can't be sure that the safe mode is the one preventing it from restarting.
