When a reboot is needed, rather than just {{Code|sudo reboot}} from within LXDE, perhaps, enter command {{Code|top}} and watch while CPU activity subsides, then logout of LXDE and shutdown from console. And/or, from the console, {{Code|top && shutdown -r now}}. Further, after the downloads and other sections of prolonged 100% CPU activity, I have tended to use the Rpi for some light work with the idea of "settling the contents", and have an extra restart.
