Computer frequently freezes after going from 16.04 to 18.04
I had a problem yesterday with after playing with my shared libraries.
I was told that the cleanest way to fix it was to completely reinstall Ubuntu. I decided that while I was at it I could upgrade from my good old 16.04 to the newest 18.04. I kept my partitions (I'm dual-booting with Windows 10) and just installed the 18.04 distro on my 16.04.
But since then, I've experienced many random freezes. Every time, everything stops working: it's not just a program crashing, I simply have no other choice than to force reboot it.
I've read and watched a few tutorials online which said that it was a fairly common problem. I've tried to modify my /etc/default/grub file by changing the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line by:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=force"
I then updated the grub and rebooted. This seemed to work just fine but a couple of hours later, the computer froze again.
I read somewhere else that the same line could be edited like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash intel_idle.max_cstate=1"
Saved again, updated once more and rebooted. But this time, it seemed to be worse, freezing only seconds after reboot.
I must admit I am not very talented with these kind of procedures (as my need to reinstall Ubuntu because of a previous fail illustrates). I saw that it might have something to do with kernel or with my video card.
Does anybody know what could be done to stop theses freezes?
Thanks a lot!
P.S: My computer is an Acer Aspire XC-603.
I (am trying to) run Ubuntu 18.04 with Unity instead of GNOME.

I confirm this issue with J2900 based solution on a different motherboard: ASRock Q2900-ITX. Yesterday I upgraded 14.04 -> 16.04 -> 18.04. The machine started locking up (as in kernel lockup, unpingable) randomly but mostly whenever I play PVR recordings through MoBo's HDMI connector. No solutions so far work, including the ones listed in the original question. It's some kind of kernel bug, perhaps in some Intel driver. I'll try going back to 16.04, which has three more years of support. Hopefully either 18.04 or 20.04 will have a solution to this problem by the 16.04 EOL
