Screen Saver on 10.12.6 keeps freezing / locking up system and I have to force restart

[Enderal]

I am running macOS 10.12.6; when the screen saver loads my system freezes / locks up, and I have to do a force restart. The screen saver doesn't move and I can't even ping the system using a different system. It's completely locked up. I disabled the screen saver and let my system run for 24 hours with the console open and I didn't get any errors.

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

I "fixed" this last year. I disabled the screen save! Now no more freezing!
