Alex Shtof, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an update to your BIOS is available (2.59). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything?  If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

Bug description:
  My computer randomly freezes once in a few days. I had the following observations
  1. Mouse does not move. Keyboard does not respond. Ctrl+Alt+F1 does not switch to text-mode console.
  2. Probability of freeze increases while playing video in a web browser.
  3. Probability of freeze increases while running a VMWare virtual machine running Windows 8.1.
