mint cinnamon keeps freezing?

i installed mint cinnamon today to try it out, and its already frozen three times a few hours apart...

the three times it happened were from regular usage, i wasnt maxing out the ram (this most recent time it froze while i was browsing with a few tabs open). im using an hp omnibook aero 7 with amd ryzen ai 5 340 cpu and latest OS version if that helps..

each time this happens i just hold the power button until it shuts off and power it on again and continue like normal, but i want to prevent this from happening cause i feel like it shouldnt be happening this often. any help is appreciated 🙂‍↕️

from looking up a solution i saw a key combination that involves a SysRq key, but my laptop doesnt have that

im not a huge tech person (def dont know my way around a terminal), but i do want to like using this OS because i feel like windows has fell off after windows 7 was phased out...
