My laptop froze on me and I'm trying to find a clue as to what may be the cause.
Happened as I was watching a livestream. There still was audio but couldn't control mouse or keyboard, had manually press the power button off.

I thought perhaps an overheating issue so tried this morning to recreate he problem and ran a temp monitoring program alongside. CPU temp stayed below 70 C degrees throughout, so I don't think problem is a heat issue.
Any clues in mind?
