I'm working from memory, but I know that during some freezes, the machine has been pretty hot and the fan has been running at full speed. It felt those times like the freeze happened at the same time the fan hit full speed, but I can't be sure.

I don't have to be watching video or listening to audio for it to happen, but it definitely seems to exacerbate it. I can go for weeks with no lockup, and then have it happen twice during the same Netflix binge session. (However, I frequently watch hours of streaming video without freezes, too.)

I haven't noticed a pattern about how long I have to be watching before it happens.
