Ubuntu 17.10 freezes randomly

[https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ubuntu+17.10+freezes&t=canonical&ia=web]

Hello, since I had Fedora 26 and it froze, same happened to Fedora 27. So I thought was Fedora the issue. Then I cleaned it and installed Ubuntu 17.10 instead. Sadly the issue did not go away.

Checking online I tried changing Wayland = false in the /etc/gdm3/custom.conf package (didn't work)
I tried to reinstall the NVidia packages: sudo apt install nvidia-384/5 (didn't work)
I tried with logging in not using wayland, but I can not log in with anything else than GNOME or GNOME CLASSIC otherwise the system justs reboots immediately after the log in.

I guess you have all my details. ASUS computer, Ubuntu 64bits. Hope you can find what I did not.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello, your logs have more complaints about firmware errors than I'm accustomed to seeing. Wild guess, maybe try the firmware test suite package 'fwts' or 'fwts-frontend' on your system. Maybe your hardware vendor has updated BIOS you can try?

Thanks

Matteo:

1) Could you please post the output of the following terminal command (not manually attach files):
ls -la /var/crash

2) Could you please post the output of the following terminal command:
sudo cat /var/lib/whoopsie/whoopsie-id

3) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

4) To see if this is already resolved in Ubuntu, could you please test http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ and advise to the results?
