This is a fresh install of 17.10. I installed Chrome after the system freeze started to load up my favorites so I could access them to find solutions but I couldn't find any. The freeze sometimes happens right at startup or it waits until I start to download something, also I get frequent wifi network failure but, but everything else that uses the network seems to be working just fine as in (other computers, Roku, smart tv, tablet, and phones).
