Every Linux Distribution freezes forever on my laptop
 

Hello everyone, I have a problem. When I install one of many Linux distributions on my laptop, after some time or after playing some media, it freezes forever(and I always need to reboot my laptop).
Can you help me please?

Here is the info from neofetch command(I'm not a Linux guru):
OS: Slackware 15.0 x86_64 x86_64
Host: HP 80C5
Kernel: 5.15.19
Uptime: 3 mins
Packages: 1560(pkgtool)
Shell: bash 5.1.16
Resolution: 1366x768
DE: Plasma 5.23.5
WM: Kwin
Terminal: konsole
CPU: Intel Pentium N3700 (4) @ 2.400GHz
GPU: Intel Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor x5-E8000/J3xxx/N3xxx
Memory: 831MiB / 7803MiB

What other distros have you tried?

Fedora, LMDE, Debian

Perhaps you have some faulty ram modules(?).

So I need to use the most lightweight linux distros such as Puppy os?

I would suggest testing your hardware first... temps ok? memtest ok? hd ok? etc etc

If it happens with multiple distros it has to be hardware fault. Could also be graphics card or motherboard.

Or power supply or overheating or anything else.

What you could try: reboot Slackware installation DVD and run memtest, watch for memory errors but also the CPU Temp (personally I consider anything above 40 degrees Celsius to be overheating).

Other ideas: monitor the temperatures for other components, video card overheating, hard disk overheating etc.

Yet another idea: check if this freezing happens in Windows too. It is very unlikely your problem is a result of a Linux kernel bug but you can only test this if you run non-Linux OS.

Thank you, I'll try it out
