Node randomly rebooting. Possible watchdog error?

Hey guys,
I'm really new to the whole proxmox and networking scene. I have a node set up at the minuet just running a few bits. I have an issue at the moment where the node seems to decide it wants to reboot itself. This reboot will hang until I manually cut power and reboot the system myself. This causes a lot of issues as this hosts my DNS and DHCP servers. I've copied below the part of the log that I think is relevant. Looks like some kind of watchdog (don't know much about this). If anyone can help me diagnose and solve this as well as possibly explain a bit more behind it that would be amazing!
Many thanks, Dom :)
Code:

That's from your allowed powersaving mode "suspend to idle" in your bios cpu settings so change that to just allow S3 powersaving mode. Reason:
Upon wake, when systemd sees the clock has advanced beyond the 3 minute watchdog timeout, it will kill and restart services that have the watchdog enabled.
