My computer crashed 6 times in one hour.

I have a 15" 2018 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. I have always been an Apple fan and absolutely love their products. But today, my computer has crashed 6 times in one hour. When having the following apps open: Safari, Spotify App and Notes App. All applications are updated as well as the OS.


Really don't know what could be causing the issue but I have been interrupted six times now during important emails, calls and I truly am considering to change the computer if I can't get this fixed soon.


Does anybody know what could be the cause of the problem or have any recommendations? Apart from that, I love the computer but I am afraid that if this keeps happening I will have to look for another alternative.


Best regards,


Martin.

MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.14
