Need some help with an old PC of my best friend.
Circa 3 months ago I fully format his old WIndows and Install Mint on it.
Everything was going well, and my friend Luca was start like Linux especially for be more secure.
He just call me yesterday and mention that after Mint loads, some time the monitor freeze and the mouse is not working.
He need reboot the PC but some time the same thing happen again.
So, I did a power supply test, memory test and a generic hardware test.....but I can't find anything.
I have the PC with me and below are the specs:

luca@luca-desktop:~$ Not sure if is maybe a problem with GPU drivers or maybe kernal?
I check also the HD and is just 40% full.
Any ideas?
Thanks
