Since a couple of weeks my MacBook Pro (OS X El Capitan 10.11.4) freezes once a day. It seems it is heating (I hear the fan) before crashing. When I try to restart, it doesn't restart immediately, I have to wait a couple of minutes before it accepts to restart. Any idea?
Thanks

Sounds like a process or application is using a lot of processing power with the CPU which causes the computer to appear unresponsive. Increased CPU activity is expected to increase the temperature of the CPU which causes an increase in fan speed. Which applications are you using when this happens?
Apps can affect Mac performance, battery runtime, temperature, and fan activity - Apple Support
Can you force the issue to occur? If yes then you have identified the steps to reproduce the issue. You can then do those steps in safe mode and a new user account to isolate the issue.
