1st thoughts, faulty drivers someplace. Even though its random, it can still happen, esp where you mention "while rest of screen/desktop is there, you can't access anything." Sounds like the Drivers have frozen or crashed, and restart on a reboot.
If it were windows, I'd use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) and completely rip them all out then reinstall fresh drivers (but not the latest) you would really need to get them all out, as simply reinstalling over the top can leave behind old corrupted fragments, sometimes the latest isn't always the best.
The other thought is disable hardware acceleration and see if that makes any difference.
Does linux have an event viewer like windows, (or similar) that you can have a look at and see if anything went phhhttttt or crashed ?

Upgrades = Old bugs replaced with new Bugs.
