Had same frozen display problem with Ubuntu, most times coincident with a very 
busy video adapter (MVP, Gimp, GMaps..)
Hardware: Laptop Acer Aspire 5735Z
Ubuntu 18.10 
Linux 4.18.0-13-generic

Workaround:
sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
...add
Section "Device"
        Identifier "Intel Graphics"
                Driver   "intel"
        Option  "AccelMethod" "sna"
        Option  "TearFree"    "true"
        Option  "DRI" "3"
EndSection

Result: Still ok after several hours and tasks.
