I probably solved this issue with:
1. Edit /etc/default/grub
-Changed line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
into:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash video=SVIDEO-1:d"
2. sudo update-grub
3. sudo grub-install /dev/sdX
4. reboot

I have the exact same problem after installing a fresh version of 17.10
with Xubuntu on 2 laptops with the same graphics card running the
i915-driver. It happens randomly. The desktop just freezes for some
seconds. Previously running 16.04 with no problem.
