Ok, I'll try to explain better this time:
1. By pressing Ctrl + Alt + F1 you'll be dropped to a console; a black screen with a blinking cursor, give it a few seconds and you'll see login type in your username and password, press enter and you'll be logged in a  TTY, you can issue commands from there, navigate the system, and do pretty much the same things you can in a terminal from the desktop, but the mouse won't work while in there, that's normal.
2. In that console run the journalctl command, because the messages you posted are from when you rebooted the machine.
3. It would be better if you did this when the system freezes, just be patient after pressing those keys and wait until the TTY starts, then proceed as explained above.

I tried what you said - this is what happened.

Not sure if it worked or not, because now Linux won't even log into the network connections that I have been using.  I have two and I have used both with Linux, now it fails to log into them.

Also, I really don't understand how I still have the same problem I started with considering I uploaded a complete fresh install of 5.4, on a NEW hard drive.    :shrug

Hi @lintek ,
I think you have the Network Manager down which can be solved whether you could type the folloswing command in a terminal:
systemctl status avahi-daemon.service

The output text on the terminal looks like this:

systemctl status avahi-daemon.service
● avahi-daemon.service - Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Stack
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/avahi-daemon.service; enabled; vendor >
     Active: active (running) since Wed 2021-05-12 15:43:13 -03; 12min ago
TriggeredBy: ● avahi-daemon.socket
   Main PID: 655 (avahi-daemon)
     Status: "avahi-daemon 0.7 starting up."
      Tasks: 2 (limit: 9042)
     Memory: 2.1M
     CGroup: /system.slice/avahi-daemon.service
             ├─655 avahi-daemon: running [jochoa-pc.local]
             └─730 avahi-daemon: chroot helper
.......

Then, go to your Network Manager icon on the task bar and click on it and disable Enable Networking (whichi is ticked).
Afterwards, click on the icon and check the Enable Networking.

 
Hope this help, regards

That is the output before the system had a chance to freeze.  If I hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 then the only thing that happens is I lose my cursor and can't do anything (much like when the system freezes) and I have to hold down power button to reboot.

Moltke:
Just to be clear, is that output from right after the system froze? If it is, there are some errors that might explain the freezing issue.
