This isn't a post that proposes a solution for you. It's a "I have issues
too", post.
I have a newer Intel i3 laptop that I dual boot. Well sort of. I don't
boot to Windoze. I'm using the latest Neon distribution, and I will return
to my laptop to find that it has seized at the login screen. I don't have
any data which provides me a clue as to why the system is going south. My
recovery is to press/hold the power button, and then reboot. I've
considered switching to a new distribution, but I'm not certain that will
fix the problem. I also don't really want to expend the time to do that.
