I started using Ubuntu MATE last week, and I my system froze once. I suspect it had something to do with Compiz, since after switching to marco I didn’t have this issue. My specs are mentioned below:

        clock speeds: max: 3400 MHz 1: 2200 MHz 2: 3400 MHz 3: 2200 MHz 4: 2200 MHz 5: 2200 MHz 6: 2200 MHz
