Can you find an intensive program to run under Windows that will reproduce
it?

Your problems certainly sound like failing hardware. The archives are
littered with examples of people who swore black and blue that failing
hardware could not possibly be the cause of their mysterious reboots,
until they found the failing hardware and replaced it :-) Check and

My second suggestion is going to sound really weird.
My FreeBSD system disappears into the boonies when I have a screen saver
enabled. That is xscreevsaver. Given enough time, and enough core dumps.

It could be incompatible hardware (i.e. mostly compatible hardware) that
works most of the time, but occasionally causes a reboot. Meanwhile, the
vender drivers for Windows make it work perfectly there.

It exercises the hardware vigorously (CPU, RAM, disk, I/O controllers,

most likely to fail.

No. You can't exhaustively test the hardware using software. You can
only test some things: what you have shown is that none of the things
