Plug an external display and try if the issue happens, this looks like GPU crash to me since you mention the system hangs when it happens.

I just had the same thing happen to me. Took it into Apple after weeks of diagnosing the problem. Turns out its the CPU. They will have to replace the CPU/Logic Board. Will take 10 days for them to fix apparently. Luckily mine is under Apple Care. I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) with 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7.
