'more frequent' may well be indication of system component breaking down. that
is to say that if it is 'bad cap', capacitor is starting to have more internal
leakage.
other things that can cause 'more frequent' is cooling problems caused by dirty
cooling fan blades, fan itself slowing from lubricate drying, dirty heat sink on
cpu or other high heat vlsi chip, including some gpu. [graphics processor unit]
also, some heat transfer paste will dry within a couple of years and cause a loss
of cooling.
i have never check, but if there is a command line for checking system temp, fan
speed, and voltages, running a cron at 10 to 15 minute intervals will give a good
idea of what is happening.
If the motherboard has the sensors, the lm_sensors package will
usually let you get the values by running sensors. (You have to set
it up for your system first.) There is also the lm_sensors-sensord
package that will log the readings.
