Laptop freezing

How do I stop my laptop from freezing? I have been getting a message for months that the memory was low and now it is freezing with each click, even after multiple restarts.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.12

Troubleshooting this:

When you say "memory" do you mean "RAM" or Disk Storage? If little disk storage remains, then system resources are been swallowed up, hence the frozen Mac. So, uninstall items from it. Try doing so in Safe Mode [Hold down the shift key upon boot]. In Safe Mode, login items do not open at login, certain System Preferences are set aside, and damaged system files are intentionally fixed.
