Phone restarts when idled in locked screen

• As stated in the title, phone restarts itself every ~3 minutes and only when the screen is locked
• works fine when I'm using the device (even if the phone is unlocked and on for couple of hours)

symptom/occurrence:

• rear phone (near camera) is hot when i notice the device is restarting
• the device never restarts when
  • playing spotify music or apple music with the screen off
  • having apple map or google map navigating with the screen off

troubleshooting

• attempt to stimulate proximity sensor by calling through whatsapp and physically touches near the sensor (no problem)
• sends a message to the device while the screen is locked. audio and vibration (no problem)

question:

• where should I start looking and how do I test/debug to confirm what components is faulty, or software?
