LE 10.0.2 unstable (recurrent & constant freezes)

Since I upgraded to v10.0.2 (Generic) I experience freezes EVERY time I boot up. It may happen during tinkering with system or GUI setings, or playing media --- but it happens. The screen freezes, controls (keyb/mouse) do not respond, time as shown on-screen or on the screensaver is frozen at some point in the past. When it happens during playing media, the system sometimes just freezes and sometimes it reboots; mostly it freezes. When it happens during tinkering it never reboots, just freezes. I am on an AMB Kabini APU clocked at 2400 and 8GB of DDR3 RAM, which should be more than enough to run LE/Kodi (playing all the modern codecs ---H.265, VP9--- has never been a problem. My screen is 1920x1080p @60Hz (Plasma). LE boots off a USB3.0 stick attached to a USB3.0 port.
