I just managed to play a 6m 4K video in full followed by a few minutes of another 4K video before it rebooted - I never managed that much playback before I attached the heatsink so overheating seems to have been part of my problem. Looks like I should try and get another PSU now then hopefully I'll have a stable device.
I've started this thread on the rock64 hardware forum to ask about getting a known good UK PSU. I'd rather not order the official one from the states that requires an adapter, if I have a choice.

That's great that you've improved the issue! As an FYI - this heatsink fits the rock64 and works really well IMO:

I can't comment on the power adapter as I'm a stater, so maybe someone over the pond there can make a recommendation.
