Hello,
I have a Macbook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, mid-2015) with 1 TB SSD.
I recently had file system corruption issues that ended up with me erasing my disk and doing a clean reinstall of High Sierra (APFS, no FileVault). Since the reinstall, my Macbook now crashes/freezes randomly, multiple times per day — no particular pattern/app usage. I'm not plugging in an external monitor. At first I thought it might be Time Machine-related, but it's still happening after turning off automatic backups and keeping my external drive unplugged.
I have already tried:
It happens seemingly at random, no fixed amount of time after boot, and no particular app usage pattern that causes it.
It crashed when I was watching a video on VLC (video paused, beach ball, fans went to full, and hung there for 20 mins+ until I did a force reset).
It crashed this morning while Googling faults/errors from Console in Firefox (no beach ball, just froze and mouse/keyboard stopped responding).
It crashed after I restarted it and walked away: just froze at some point after rebooting without me having opened any programs or touched anything since reboot.
There are lots of errors and faults in the system.log in Console*, but I don’t know enough to know whether any of them are fatal or just usual OS stuff.
Any insight/advice appreciated!

I have already tried:
- Booting to recovery volume and performing First Aid (everything ok, no repairs needed)
- Safe boot
- Resetting SMC
- Resetting NVRAM
- Running Apple Diagnostic Tools (boot with 'D' key held down)
