Is the heater higher wattage? I agree that a power supply is quite likely. The power supplies that come with UMO, UM2, UM3 series printers are made by meanwell and has several ways it can sense power overload. When it does sense this it only powers off for a few milliseconds typically (well maybe a few 100 milliseconds) which is long enough to reboot the arduino.
You can lower the current draw by oiling (just one drop) each of the 6 rods in the gantry. You can lower the current usage paradoxically by raising the power on the heated bed (when the bed is hotter it has a higher resistance and uses less power). Also consider using blue tape and turning off the bed heater for a few prints just to diagnose your issue.
If you use blue tape make sure to wash it with isopropyl alcohol to remove the waxy surface - it just takes 5 seconds - you don't have to scrub super hard or anything. Also you will need to re-level of course.

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
