CB-571 Chromebook Freezes

Ecohen

I am having a freezing problem that's been going on since I first got this machine. I've been trying to ignore it, but it's getting to be difficult. Freezes typically happen if I am browsing Facebook, but lately I've noticed it if I review the Black Friday deals for the Google Pixel phones on the Google Play store:

 I have removed all extensions and reset all flags. Even after doing that and rebooting, the problem will still happen after a minute or two of browsing. From browsing around, it seems that I am not the only one with this model that experiences this problem. It's really ashamed because this is a great 15" chromebook otherwise.

Currently, I am  using chrome Version 71.0.3578.49 (Official Build) beta (64-bit), but I can assure everyone that I have used plenty of different versions of Chrome beta and non beta in the time that I have had this machine.

Does anyone have any ideas what's causing this or a way around it?

Many reasons except for malware unless you dabbled in Developer Mode.
