I was managing two external hard drives and the files app froze, asking me if I wanted to force close or wait.

After closing, the screen went black and I had to restart it.

Is this normal? I don't know if it gets overloaded with many desktop apps like QBittorrent and Brave Browser.

Can you log in remotely via ssh or something? Could watch the journal in case there's errors and see if the entire machine hangs or just the screen or display controller.

It's not normal and you can't really "overload" Linux. Things get killed or just thrash and get slow but one way or another the system goes on. What does happen very often with PCs it's that the display hangs or there's a hardware or driver bug or fault. Or you have a mounted filesystem that stops responding and all programs with system calls waiting will be blocked in kernel space. Especially with network filesystems and usb bridges. They're hard to figure out.

And Brave is a series scam company.

Interesting, I will take a look for those logs
