I have never owned a computer that didn't occasionally lock up, albeit some more than others. Operating systems are so complex and voluminous these days that there are bound to be some lines of code that can cause a conflict.

I run CCleaner and Malwarebyte regularly to clear out accumulated rubbish. Otherwise, just do regular back-ups and hope that a simple reboot will get you going again.
