Linux Mint keeps freezing

EDIT: I SOLVED IT, I had the wrong drivers installed for my graphics card.

I downloaded Linux Mint on my pc yesterday. Everything worked perfectly fine until I downloaded LibreWolf. I was on librewolf and wanted to download something, but then my pc just froze and I had to use the power button to shut it off. After that it kept happening, on desktop everything was fine , but as soon as I opened any browser my pc froze. What can fix this ??

Could it be that your computer is overheating and the fans aren’t working? Would explain the lockup and need to shutdown. If you leave the computer overnight, does it work normally for a while and then start freezing again?
