[TriLUG] Strange lockups on Fedora

[Greg Mueller via TriLUG]

Since you can ssh into the box when it happens, you might want to run
'top'  to see if something is chewing up your CPU.

Additionally, you could check the system logs.  I believe on Fedora you
would run  something like  "journalctl --since "2018-01-24 14:30:00"  - for
example that would give you logs starting at 2:30 today, I would set the
time to just before it locked up.
