My amateur and probably poorly informed suspicion is fuel system controller (FSC) shutdown due to thermal stress, starving the engines and leading to electrical failure and RAT deployment. However, I would have thought that such a vital controller would be multiply redundant against failure.
Here's another possible cause of engine starvation discussed - vapour lock - again due to thermal stress:
Great channel for learning about such things.
