Not really sure what's up. A couple of times my laptop has frozen. Either the program won't respond or won't launch. I've had to do a fsck check each time to get back in or I'd be stuck in initramfs, unable to log in again. (My phone had not packed up so I was able to google this info.) Anyone got any ideas?
I've had a couple of times when Firefox has hogged the processor so effectively that it felt like the whole thing had hung and in one case I too had to use the power button to turn off and reset everything.
Do you run Firefox? It's Javascript from rubbish websites that causes the problem in my experience.
