Printer freezes mid print

What is the problem?
It happened to me twice within a week that Octoprint has a problem where the printer freezes mid print. The nozzle and bed stay hot and the extruder just stays in place on the print. when that happens i can't reach octoprint's webinterface anymore. I can only unplug the raspberry and restart it again.
I also had the problem twice that when i wanted to start a print the extruder and bed would heat up and bed leveling would start and after that the extruder would just freeze and nothing happens. Restarting helped in all 4 cases but i'ts become so unreliable.

There are articals on the web about needing to modify your USB cable or adding a power blocker to it between the PI and the printer. I bought a PortaPow USB Power Blocker from Amazon.

Also if your firmware is blocking Host Action Commands, this could be a problem too. OctoPrint told me my firmware needed to be modified.
