Re: Debian Stretch freezes often
hello Esteban
thanks for responding
the motherboard cannot be overclocked and ram is approved for use with
the motherboard (speed wise);
as for the heat sink, (temperature) computer freezes right after
startup first thing in the morning (sometimes) but it also freezes
after being on all day; i never checked the temperature since the fans
are not running too fast (they are quiet and the power supply)
i looked in the /var/log/ but most the files are while large
not sure what to look at, also grub outputs some messages, but cannot
read
i'll continue reading for things to check
regards
enzo
