Seems to be fixed
Remember that? Yep, seems to be fixed , particularly thanks to @Emmanuel Florac pointing out the rather low memory for a Ryzen system. I did do a bit more than just doubling the memory, we went quadruple, and now have 16G of RAM. Oddly the system grew with the memory increase, what was a 2.xxG system, heavier when Firefox was part of the mix is now a 3.xx system pushing 4G when Firefox is running, not sure what's up with that. Hasn't been anymore crashes or hangs so far, knock on wood. I'm sure the HD will fail at some point, but not for a while at least, it's a second had drive from the room mate, cheaper and saved me having to go out to get one, though that last one wound up pointless because of the memory issue.
So, got a running computer for something like $60 rather than buying one for around $160, saving money's always good.
Well that was sadly expected
So, for reasons my Asahi Linux experiment has ended, and I went back to one of my older computers. This one had been replaced by a convertible laptop that I expected to take over my tablet duties, but that failed as it was too big, bulky and heavy for that job. Fine computer, just a waste of money on features I didn't need.It's predecessor became my lazer engraving computer, at least until it's hard drive died. But, that wasn't it's first problem, for the longest time it's had issues, I mean these specs don't look bad, do they?
Yet it had a habit of locking up, especially when Firefox was running. Now, I brought the computer back to life using an old M2 drive my room mate didn't need any more, and was hoping that the issues were simply related to the HD, maybe some kind of virtual memory issue using the unreliable HD.
Nope, still having bog downs, and the entire computer actually froze this time, so I guess there's something really wrong with it, unless anyone has an idea of what's wrong.
