Did you ever figure out the solution to this? I'm having the exact same issue

My story. Always used Sandisk cards, but when I bought my GH4 in 2014 when it came out, the store gave me a top of the line, fastest 64GB Lexar. In the first days of recording videos, the camera locked up in playback, and could not be shut off unless I pulled the battery out.

Went to the store, bought a brand new too spec SandDisk card, and my GH4 never locked up again in 2 years of use. I gifted the Lexar to one of my friend with an E-M5 and it worked fine for him, I think.

Not to bash Lexar, they are out of business anyway, but now I have a 128GB Lexar in my GX85 since 2016 and it works great, never gave me any problem.

So I would try a good fast Sandisk card.
