Trouble with Mojave freeze(s)

My iMac has been no trouble since late 2012 when I acquired it. Once y the system updated to Mojave’s ihavebeen plagued by frozen screens. I can move my mouse but lock till nightfall and nothing happens. I have reinstalled normally but it freezes again apparently at random. Now I am trying to install in safe mode but the installer has frozen. I retried and it offered me an install from the internet which gratefully accepted but now that has frozen. I think the problem must roñé of third party application incompatibility. But stuck as aim i am not sure whether I will ever manage to get back to High Sierra.

can anyone help please?

iMac 27", macOS 10.14

While you've got the machine working is the time to run Etrecheck.

Thank you so much. At first that would have been difficult to. do as the system had frozen as soon as it tried to reboot and it was completely unresponsive. Somehow I have overcome that and I seem to have a working Mohave system. If this should freeze again then I may be able to follow your instructions but while it works I am going to let be. I am exhausted after 4 hours work on this. Once again I am really grateful for your full and clear instructions.

Keith.
