I'm a new user to ubuntu and linux overall. I've installed clean ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS on my msi ge60 2oe laptop about a month ago. At the beginning everything was fine except wifi problem but right now my system freezes almost every 30 minutes. I've made some research online and found that there are others troubled by this problem. Here are the links related to problem :
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS freezing about every 10-15 seconds
Ubuntu 20.04 freezing and crashing

There were some suggestions like changing the NVIDIA driver settings etc. but It still freezes. Is there anything that I can do about it? I'm on my thesis year and compiling my code takes really long time (~8 hours). If it helps here are some properties of my laptop :
product: GE60 2OC\2OE (To be filled by O.E.M.)
product: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40GHz
size: 3290MHz
capacity: 3800MHz
description: 3D controller
product: GK106M [GeForce GTX 765M]
vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
description: VGA compatible controller
product: 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller
vendor: Intel Corporation
To be precise, freezing starts with increasing CPU usage and minor lags like my mouse cursor is not moving properly and sites are not working properly. Then It freezes for good, I can't move my mouse and only solution is to use Alt + PrtScn + REISUB. Also couple of days ago, while I was running my code, system gave crash report but It didn't effect my work. I'm not sure it is related but I'll share it just in case :
