Let me rephrase my problem; the computer itself does not freeze. It's the overall keyboard and certain mouse clicks that go unresponsive.
The computer works OK but I am unable to type anything in any application e.g. terminal, text editor etc. However I am able to open apps using the Xfce menu. I am able to close any window but double click or minimize will stop working. Cursor will not blink in the terminal/bash window.
Initially I was able to recover via logout/login or restart but I just discovered that I can "fix" the issue by switching consoles as well. i.e. pressing CTRL+ALT+F3 then back in GUI with CTRL+ALT+F7
I am going to check next time if the issue auto-fix itself.
The only change that I made was adding intel_idle.max_cstate=1 in the grub configuration. That was mentioned somewhere online to fix the issue. I guess I can remove it as it does not appear to help.
