   If nothing get logged in time to your system logs, we might try to   
   gather more information by attaching a netconsole. You need a second   
   device in your lan to recieve the netconsole messages.   
      
   Instructions on how to do it are documented in:   
   https://docs.kernel.org/networking/netconsole.html   
      
   To make things handy once it work to send messaged to the remote host,   
   add (temporary, it can be dropped again after the debug session) a   
   dropin file /etc/default/grub.d/netconsole.cfg containing the required   
   settings:   
      
   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="$GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX netconsole=[...]"   
      
   and then run update-grub2.   
      
   Can you please try that and then wait to trigger the problem and   
   collect the logs sent via netconsole.   
      
   Regards,   
   Salvatore
