My desktop freezes randomly at times, and takes no input from either mouse or keyboard. If an audio track is playing (video, .mp3, etc.), the audio skips on the last sound or syllable heard, then goes silent, but after that happens I cannot enter any input until I restart my computer, after which the process may start over again.

I suspect it has something to do with the drivers being un-updated, but I am not entirely sure. I built this computer as a rig and since it freezes somewhat often I think it might be an issue with my amd. I read that Ctrl+Alt+Backspace restarts Xorg, and I tested it out, made sure it worked, but I´m not sure when it freezes. If it is a driver issue, where can I find the repository for a much needed update?
