What to do when Trisquel freezes?

I run the latest Trisquel on a Gluglug X60. And the GUI sometimes froze. The only thing I could link was the more intense activity. I have gone up from the 3.2.x kernel to 3.10.x libre. The problem is still there.
Mr. Rowe offered me assistance and I have made a stress test. For over an hour both CPUs were up to 100% activity. The laptop was hot, yet nothing happened. I could even watch a movie and open a lot of apps in the background.
The computer still freezes. And I don't have any other means of recovering than power it off and restart. I have read here about Alt+SysRq. Next time I am going to use this trick. Still, what can I do to investigate the source of this rather random stops?
I guess one diagnostic you could do is check your memory. I believe the Trisquel CD offers that option and here might be a newer version http://www.memtest.org/#downiso
You could also try reseating memory and other hardware components and blowing dust away. Might be difficult in a laptop.
I have to hook up a second laptop to the serial output of the docking station. But yea, never did that.
be careful with the cans of compressed air you can buy. Some of them contain solvents as propellants which may damage the plastic parts of your computer.
I have a small pump for that. But that is always good to have in mind.
