How can I stop my iMac Pro from restarting on its own?

I have a iMac Pro (2017) running 12.7.4 (21H1123)

My mac has been randomly restarting itself the past couple of days, seemingly in periods of time when idling, not been in direct use. But while apps are still on it the background, some still running tasks. I managed to catch a couple of the send to apple error messages, if it helps, I have attached them here. Hasn't happened for just over a day, until right now again. Followed another post on here, booted in safe mode, then reset the SMC and then the NVRAM. Maybe that't what gave me the day without recurrence.

Anyone know what is happening?

Watchdog timer is set and a long-running task is sent on its way, and expected to report in later.

Your Mac set up WindowServer in this way, it did not reposed for 120 seconds, and the watchdog timer fired to report WindowServer had lost its way. Several times over.

Your iMac Pro 1,1 was running MacOS 12.7.4 Monterey

no well-know Bad-Actor kernel extensions were successfully added.

Consider downloading and running this little "discovery" utility, Etrecheck. It changes NOTHING. Etrecheck was developed by senior contributor here, and uses system calls to collect often-needed information.

it contains little tests for speeds of devices, CPU utilization, memory usage, energy usage and a digest of recent problems, in one easy to use package. it does not even need to be Installed. Because less can be learned when your Mac is running great, best time to run is when your problems are actually occurring, if possible.

if you follow the directions faithfully, its report (pre-laundered of all personally-identifiable information) can be "Shared" to the system ClipBoard, then Pasted into an ‘Additional Text’ window in a reply on the forums.
