    Probably relevant: router was reset around this time.

    Is this still an issue with a recent version of Bitcoin Core?

    It could be a hardware issue. Bitcoin Core makes heavy use of CPU, RAM and disk IO. Hardware defects might only become visible when running Bitcoin Core. You might want to check your hardware for defects.

    • memtest86 to check your RAM
    • to check the CPU behaviour under load, use linpack or Prime95
    • to test your storage device use smartctl or CrystalDiskInfo
