I did search online and here on the forum for similar posts but found none that fits the issue.A Framework laptop bought in 2022 with the following specs:
- 16GB RAM
- 11th Gen i5-1135G7 2.4GHzx8
- Mesa Intel Xe Graphics
- 500GB SSD
- running Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
- GNOME 42.9
- Wayland
There is no driver or software updates available at the moment, as it checks for updates daily.
Everything, except the keyboard and audio, freezes regularly since maybe a week ago. The freeze may occur minutes or hours after boot, regardless of what software I am using. Overheating shouldn't be an issue, as I only use the laptop on a stand with lots of clear room below and do not run anything crazier than Firefox and Discord.
Now, the freeze may disappear after 5-45 minutes, but usually once one has occurred, more follow in quick succession. I can close the laptop to force a login, which fixes the freeze temporarily. Serious work is impossible that way, though.
My attempts
- run
topcommand -> memory peaks at 3% usage, but CPU sometimes reaches up to 30% - check for updates -> none available
- restart and control temperature when retesting
I'm new to Linux and don't know what logs I could access to give you a better picture, so please bear with me. Everything ran flawlessly for the past six months and I never had to dive into Linux/Ubuntu much at all. What steps should I take to identify the cause and remedy it? Maybe you guys have a hunch what is going on? Thank you.
