gnome - Random freezing on UbuntuGNOME 15.10

I have a machine with a new installation of UbuntuGNOME 15.10 (64-bit), which has, in the last two days, frozen completely few times.


By frozen, I mean that the desktop becomes completely unresponsive and unchanging. I have no luck trying to switch to a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1), and have to shutoff and restart my computer to fix.


Though there isn't really a definitive task that my computer is doing when this happens, it has happened sometimes while watching a video on YouTube or locally, although many times I am not watching a video when this happens. Also, memory and CPU usage are normal when it freezes.


I believe this problem has some ties with my hard drive, because when Ubuntu is booting following when it freezes, it shows a message that it is cleaning orphaned inodes.


Edit


I probably should also add that my home directory is encrypted with ecryptfs after I selected 'Encrypt My Home Directory' during installation, thought I doubt that has anything to do with the solution.
