The freezes are not Chrome only, as they also occur when Chrome is not running, though, from memory, Steam uses some of the same things as Chrome. Once the freeze happens a hard reset (holding down the power button) and restarting is the only solution (I can't even open a CLI instance). Thanks for your time, hope there is a fix soon.
