Public bug reported:

I bought a new setup and since then my computer is having random
freezes, it stop respond until you make a hard reset (pressing reset
button)

* I noticed that this issue is more common when running java programs, i.e. 
Intellij, Spring Boot applications (I'm a java developer) and using chrome.
* I also noticed issue is not related to high CPU usage

Steps I did to reproduce the issues

* Turned computer on
* Started Intellij
* Opened chrome and let a video playing
* Started a java application with a considerable consume of memory (500MB)
* Keep starting and stopping that application

I did the following tests and had the same results

* Tested on ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, 18.10 with it's original kernels, also tested 
on kernel 4.19
* Tested with nouveau (With and without GPU installed)
* Tested with Nvidia proprietary drivers
* Tested with Nvidia ubuntu repository drivers
* Installed latest BIOs
* Removed one of my two memories

Steps I did to stress my computer and got no issues

* Ran memtest (got no issues)
* Stressed my computer and RAM with stress tool (got not issues)

Steps to fix the problem

* apt purge -y zram-config
* Restart the computer

** Affects: zram-config (Ubuntu)
