Today I upgraded from Ubuntu 16 to 17. Everything worked fine until I left my computer on for about 2-3 hours. Then it crashed, except there were no error screen or message. Just the last image that happened before it crashed. The mouse won't move, keyboard doesn't work, and all the operations(My download stopped… I don't exactly know if everything does) don't continue. I just thought it was a random issue and carried on by powering off my machine manually, but it occurred again and I don't think this is just something to ignore. Any help would be nice for how to fix this as I have no idea. Also I am using Ubuntu desktop.
Update:
The output of ls -alt /var/crash
is
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 Apr 11 21:21 ..

free -h
gives me:
> total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 7.7G 889M 6.2G 46M 692M 6.6G
Swap: 2.0G 0B 2.0G
swapon
gives:

> /dev/dm-0 partition 2G 0B -1
And ls -alh /swapfile
gives:
-rw——- 1 root root 2.0G Jun 4 21:41 /swapfile
Also my startup time has increased tremulously.

There seems to be problems with 17.04 and encrypted swapfiles... and there are some workarounds...
Edit your
/etc/crypttab
like so:Change this line:
To this:
Also make sure that your
