It could be that BOINC and some daily OS task together trigger the freeze ups ... so now I'm wondering whether a Raspberry Pi Zero W (which is lower powered, but the model has less of an overheating issue than the #Odroid XU4 model) is capable of running some BOINC projects.
I did read somewhere that persistent problems (overheating?) with the XU4 led to a stripped down version with a giant heat sink case being sold as the network storage oriented #Odroid #HC1 and Odroid #HC2 devices. I think that was either on the Ameridroid site or in the Amazon descriptions for the "home cloud" devices.-

However, the XU4 does suffer from excessive heat at full load, you can expect 3-5 seconds at full load, before thermal throttling kicks in @ 95'c and reduces clocks.
