I am unable to activate hotspot in my tumbleweed os. I tried it by using NetworkManager and pc freezes when I connect the network .

I guess you'd better ask on a networkmanager forum, but depending on the deepness of the freeze (kernel? can you still switch VTs with Ctrl+Alt+F[1,9]?) this might be a problem with the kernel module for the wifi chip.

No nothing works for almost 3 - 4 minutes and system reboots

Sounds largely like a problem with the WiFi kernel module. I'd google in that direction (check lspci for the type)
