The screen appears to freeze, with possible SSH access from another machine during the first minutes. After that, the system totally freezes, with not even ethernet connection anymore.
Only hard reboot helps to solve the issue, with normal functionality afterwards.
It occurs in a random way.

If you can't log in remotely any more then that sounds like a kernel issue. But regardless, please:
1. Reproduce the freeze again.
2. Reboot
3. Run this command to collect the system log from the previous (frozen) boot:
journalctl -b-1 > prevboot.txt
4. Attach the file 'prevboot.txt' to the bug here.
