I have a Macbook air from the year 2016. I have it for about 3 years. Lately, while I am writing a report, every hour, the entire screen freezes and I cannot use my mouse anymore and I have to shut down the computer entirely. What can I do to fix it

Please determine if the same problems occur in "Safe Mode": Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac.


It's generally inconvenient to use a Mac in that mode, and I realize it may take some time to draw a conclusion.
