I have something like that happening when the system runs out of memory. It becomes unresponsive to keyboard and mouse, and appears to freeze. Eventually it revers -- this can take many minutes. Maybe longer. I usually walk away and come back later if I don't feel like rebooting. As far as I can tell, the OOM killer struggles to get enough resource to decide which process to kill. Often if choses firefox-esr, which can have a lot of processes caled Web Content. Sometimes I can control-alt-F1 to a text console, which echoes keystrokes very slowly, and I can killall firefox-esr. > No response to keyboard input, while the mouse can still move, > but no button click response? button-click response is then also very slow, but does happen eventually.
