Running 18.04
After a few quirks with grub and then lock screen settings, all fixed with installation USB, the issue with system freeze remains. This issue also was happening with the previous install of 16.04 but not nearly to the frequency of occurrence as in 18.04 now.
I used ctrl+alt+F2 to TTY and reboot in 16.04 but its access is intermittent in 18.04 freezing occurrences, so many unclean shutdown errors after hard reset.
I've used KsysGuard & Ksystemlog to try source the problem. Even tried top in Konsole to record during session but am not sure where and how to read the recording.
In KsysGuard on the System Load Tab one sees the cores load % maxed-out on most, especially when utilising the other HDDs (all non-boot ext4).
I then started to look at all the logs in Ksystemlog and searching out error/fail entries.
Here are some I found and started researching online. Which yields similar error/fail messages to mine yet from apparently different vectors, so I am reticent to attempt some of the suggested route/fixes until I am sure its the right-ish path.

I’m not sure which logs will help or truly how to identify the freeze issues.
