if you are using Nvidia card see which version you are using. Install additional drivers
sudo apt install additional-drivers
the package name might be different but you can also find it in the app store
after it was installed check there which drivers you are using for your graphics card. I had such problems with nouveau drivers (open source drivers for Nvidia)
so I installed the latest drivers from Nvidia and everything was resolved

No, it has AMD. But I can try it.– user11890Commented Aug 21, 2017 at 20:15

perhaps there's drivers for AMD as well, don't have any experience with them Commented Aug 24, 2017 at 16:42
It may be due to the Intel processor. I had a similar experience with a laptop with an Intel processor. What I did was open the terminal and run:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash intel_idle.max_cstate=1"
Save it (Ctrl+O), exit (Ctrl+X)
Then run
sudo update-grub
sudo reboot
Hope this helps. And make sure that the OS is updated as well.
