Occasional system freeze after the latest update in Slackware64 --curent
by Andersen from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5C31N)
After the latest updates in Slackware64 --curent (the latest kernel change), my system became a bit unstable. Occasionally, while browsing in Firefox, I first hear the fan start spinning fast and then everything freezes. I can't even check what process is involved, because the keyboard is frozen too.
I tried with opening top and setting it above all windows before the problem happens, but nothing unusual was detected. It usually happens when I'm working in my google docs, once happened while I was reading and scrolling the Twitter. I suspected ,but not sure, that it has something to do with the nvidia kernel module. Did anyone face similar issues? Any thoughts? Thanks!
edit: I use default system settings
