That's a longwinded way of saying 'no'.
ps wouldn't be crashing on a properly functioning system, period; and if you didn't find the problem, it's still there.
It might have been just one corrupted file if it was just ps. But if 7z is not merely crashing, but freezing your entire system? You've (still) got memory errors, or a hardware problem. Kernel bug isn't impossible but hardware seems more likely. At the very least run memtest86 for a while.

I guess I should go back to Linux Mint or Ubuntu. I never had this many problems with those two os's.
As I said in your other thread, this is extremely unusual and usually points to a hardware problem. You can hardly blame the OS for failing hardware.
You're going to have a hard time guilting us over your difficulty when you seemed to pay so little attention to it.

KILL(1) General Commands Manual KILL(1)
NAME
kill, broke - print commands to kill processes
SYNOPSIS
kill name
broke
DESCRIPTION
Kill prints commands that will cause all processes called name and owned by the current user to be terminated. Use the send command of
81/2(1), or pipe the output of kill into rc(1) to execute the commands.
Kill suggests sending a kill note to the process; the same message delivered to the process's ctl file (see proc(3)) is a surer, if heavy
handed, kill, but is necessary if the offending process is ignoring notes.
Broke prints commands that will cause all processes in the Broken state and owned by the current user to go away. When a process dies
because of an error caught by the system, it may linger in the Broken state to allow examination with a debugger. Executing the commands
printed by broke lets the system reclaim the resources used by the broken processes.
