Can you give some more information about what happens? If you run system monitor, do you get any cpu percentage on wait? What is the load average of the system?
If you run many programs, it is likely that the system is swapping. Did you check if the swap process uses a lot of cpu. Does any other process use a lot of cpu? You say this behaviour started recently. Did it not freeze before with the same amount of programs running? If so, did you check with the smartmon tools if your HD has errors? It might be that your HD is dying. ** Changed in: Ubuntu Assignee: (unassigned) => Ralph Janke Status: New => Incomplete -- System freezes randomly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128611 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
