Hope it gives you a idea. Freezes are usually hardware related. My 2 commands above is looking for video driver errors. Seeing mine is fine and dandy. No errors. Ar least that I can see.
If you think sound card is freezing stuff. To get info on chip and driver.

Just to let you know. Years ago on my Acer Aspire One ZG5 . To get the sd card slot to recognize cards when inserted. I edited grub legacy < /boot/grub/menu.list> and caused some kind of hardware conflict which caused the wifi card to get hot and kill the netbook session. Shutdown on over heat. Took me a lot of searching and thinking and trouble shooting before I figured out I induced the problem with my edit. Jest mentioning this just in case. That is why now I religiously make backup text files first before doing any editing in / or /home text files. So if I screw the pooch like in my above adventure. I have a backup of original to bring things back to stock.
Live and learn.
Sometimes I drive a crooked road to get my mind straight.
