Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 59000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

I would check system level logs to start like dmesg and syslog.
Someone else might have better tips of what to grep for in the logs. One thing you could do is try to ssh into the system when it’s locked up and check the logs to see what’s being reported during or immediately before the lockup.
Once you get a sense for what’s going on at a system level you can start to look in more specific logs.
Good idea. I'll do that next time.
