Restart while rendering Adobe (premiere/after effects/ media encoder)

running High Sierra 10.13.6
i7-8700K
Geforce 1070
32GB DDR4 Ram (2x16GB RipJaw Cards)
Gigabyte Auros Z370 Gaming Wifi Mobo

Using the 387.10.10.10.40.105 Web Drivers for (17G65) build and CUDA 410.130
SMBIOS is iMac14,2 since I heard it was stable-ish (though I had it on iMac18,3 with the same issue, I heard people recommend 19,1 but I don't have that option despite updating configurator)

I made sure NvidiaWeb is true in system parameters,
I've heard conflicting stuff on nvda_drv=1. It's on right now but it doesn't seem to make a difference either way.
Internal Graphics are disabled in BIOS along with the usual string:

VT-d disabled
Intel PTT disabled
XHCI hand off enabled
Sata set to AHCI
Wake on Lan Disabled
Network Stack Disabled
primary is PCIE 1

I also made sure nothing was over clocked.
I underclocked my RAM from 2133 (auto) to (1833) and optimized for stability.

So the issue is whenever I try to render something out of anything adobe (also davinci resolve) it might make it a few seconds in, it might run for 15 minutes without any troubles when it'll suddenly restart. That's the only thing that makes the system restart though, everything else seems stable. Just rendering literally anything!

I suspect its dependent on the complexity or RAM-load of the project because I exported a test AE project that was 3 layers with some procedural "wiggle(1,25);" that was 20min long no problem. But my somewhat complex 2min video export causes the system to restart between 1 and 3min in.

I've heard 1070 isn't compatible with adobe, but I have metal, OpenCL and CUDA acceleration options (in addition to hardware only) so that doesn't seem to be an issue.

Anyways guys, what can I give you to help me figure this out?
Can I get a -verbose or log on the restart somehow?
EDIT: also just disabled XMP since I was pushing for stability over performance. But I might reinstate it since that's a standard part of the basic install requirements. Render crash seems to be the same with or without it.
