perfect demonstration of culture sharing for a newbie. Like advising them to always trust commands they find online without even explaining them what each command does!

to be technically correct, they are not “distributing” it. They are doing the same thing shazam does for music.

once I had a flatmate that every time he was cooking he was leaving the kitchen like a warzone and he had used every utensil available in the kitchen. He somehow thought that it was faster for him to focus only on the cooking and after it is completed, to do all the dishes, pots, utensils, glasses, oven trays, scissors, screwdrivers, hammers, drills or whatever else he may had used.

thanks for the input. It makes sense. No, it is not overclocked or intentionally undervolted. I think it could be undervolted if the PSU fails to provide sufficent voltage which also can be a possibility since it was a middle-tier “normal” PSU which is already 5 years old

yeah, I will try these today…

it reached to the point that says “Pass complete, no errors, press Esc to exit” but the test still runs. So yes, I will re-do it for the additional passes, but from a first look, it looked fine.

btw, do you happen to remember whenabout the first crash happened? Did it start out sporadic and grow more frequent?

it started happening before one month. It could have such pattern, yes. In the beginning it started happening some of the times I was watching any video. In the end it ended up happening almost every time. Today I’m still trying to make it happen though but not yet.

will check this too then. Thanks

from now on I’m having it open and shown on the screen show if it happens again I’ll see it. thanks

thanks. I run memtest for about an hour and no errors. I’ll leave it run more if nothing else shows any progress

you’re right. No, i’m not sure it is the GPU fan. it can be any fan, possibly the CPU’s

mostly on youtube, usually at 720p30fps. I think if I go to 60fps it crashes even faster. Also I’ve tried watching on freetube and on firefox + mpv, but it can crash in all combinations

thanks! nice idea, i’ll try it

i will try it but I’m quite confident that it will be unresponsive/not reachable since if the kernel was listening it would respond to the alt + PrntScr + REISUB by unmounting the drives and I would see it when I examine the logs afterwards

isn’t this a unified way to present logs that also exist in var/log ? I mean if the logs are saved in var/log I’ve checked them. If there is a possibility that journalctl has more entries, then I need to check this too.

sorry but what exactly do you mean by checking resource utilization? CPU? yes load increases but it is not indicative. It is not starting being laggy and eventually freeze. It goes from responsive instantly to non responsive. RAM? it is 8GB, it always shows as full including the cached items (which is normal), but it doesn’t start to swap. Swap is ~1GB used. SSD? not full.

What else (and how) should I check?

thanks for your input but it looks different. I mean when I power it off with the button, then it is possible to boot without issues. Also it doesn’t freeze randomly. It freezes only if it plays videos. Now it is 10 days on uninterrupted since I stopped playing videos.

sorry if it is trivial but how do I check it?
