Daz Studio freezing computer

For some reason, at random times, Daz Studio freezes my computer that I need to restart the computer by either pressing the reset button or unplugging it, even the mouse cursor can't move anymore and pressing any button on the keyboard doesn't do anything when it freezes. When unplugging the USB mouse or keyboard and then plugging it back in also causes the mouse and keyboard to not connect / get power again until the computer is reset.
The issue only happens when I am in Daz Studio and Daz is the window on the front and I wasn't doing anything for a few minutes, such as walking away from computer or doing other things at desk, if it is in the background, then the issue doesn't happen or if Daz is rendering, then the issue doesn't happen either, only when it isn't doing anything while Daz studio is the "active window".
Daz is the latest version and the previous version also had the issue, all my drivers for video card etc are updated.
It is not that my computer can't handle it, as my computer, before it freezes isn't doing anything at all other than having Daz Studio open, including when it is just an empty scene I have had he issue.
Does anyone know what could be the cause of this or what I could do so it stops freezing? This has caused me to lose some work that I have done multiple times and resetting / unplugging the computer isn't that good for the computer itself.

Do you have the HEAT plug-in installed? Does the isue remain if you use http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/plugins/plugins_load_config/start to disable thrid-party plug-ins (which you can then reactivate through Help>About Installed plug-ins)? Usually a system freeze requires a driver or hardware issue, applications cannot do it solo.
I do not have HEAT plug-in, I did have it in the past but then when the issue first started to happen I deleted that, but it didn't help ( even though it has been less since then ).
I did just now disable some other 3rd party plugins ( Decimator ) to see if that makes a difference, all other plugins that are there are not 3rd party or plugins that I have had for very long when I didn't have the issue.
As the issue is intermittently happening at random times with no indicator on when it could happen, it might take a while before I can say if a plugin caused the issue or not.
