Then I found closing Chromium every few hours seems to solve the problem and managed to keep Mint running for 22 days until today. Today the system went into hibernation and just would not wake up. I had to do a hard reset. That was very disappointing - I was going for a month of uptime on my laptop.

I suggest trying Chrome or Firefox, it may be Chromium that is causing
most of the problems.

As for the hibernation issue, if I remember correctly, hibernation has
been disabled in the default Ubuntu offering as it is not fully
reliable on all platforms.  How did you do a hard refresh to get it to
wake up?
