    Paste the output of `sudo dmesg` command. – Prvt_Yadav Nov 16 '18 at 14:46

    Do you have swap space defined? `free` will show you. You should have swap, at least 1.5xRAM size – waltinator Nov 16 '18 at 14:50

    You are 'only' running two potentially enormous resource hogs. Run the `top` command to see the biggest resource consumers. Run the `free` command to check if you have available memory. Sudden, unexpected freezes are often due to bad RAM - lookup how to run Memtest. Lookup how to run a SMART test to check you hard drive health. – user535733 Nov 16 '18 at 19:00
  • You can always try different flavor from LiveCD/LiveUSB. I can recommend to try [Ubuntu MATE](http://ubuntu-mate.org/). You can also install MATE DE to the system with `apt install ubuntu-mate-desktop`. – N0rbert Nov 16 '18 at 19:43
