The strange thing was that all USB related devices (keyboard, network card) and HDMI was not working, but the system was still somehow alive and I was able to find valid records in logs about the system activities. When I equipped the RPi with more powerful PSU (5V/3A) the issue disappeared. My conclusion is that even the RPi do not need to consume much in average, there are some peaks when it need a lot of current. If a PSU can not provide the required current, it survives, but USB bridge dies (it means also NIC).
