Ubuntu 21.10, 20.10, an 20.04 all crash/freeze when doing various things

cn flag

Specs: -CPU: amd ryzen 3900x (12c/24t) -GPU: amd radeon HD7670 -RAM: 3200 MHz 64 GB -OS: Ubuntu 21.10 -SSD: 512 GB silicon power

Problem: whenever I do any of the following things, Ubuntu freezes, except I can still move my mouse. nothing else works, including any keyboard shortcut, turning the computer off, or interacting with any window/button.

Causes: -resizing any Minecraft window -doing various things in firefox & libreoffice -sometimes it happens when i'm just sitting around on desktop.

any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

What OS & release; you mention numerous, including an EOL & thus off-topic release. Please refer https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic where you'll note EOL releases like [Ubuntu 20.10](https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2021/07/25/ubuntu-20-10-groovy-gorilla-end-of-life-reached-on-july-22-2021/) are off-topic here. (*I'd suggest mentioning only on-topic releases to remain on-topic here, otherwise SE Unix & Linux provides support for EOL releases*)

Sounds like a hardware issue to me. Are you overclocking your system by any chance?

Do you have swap space? The `free` command will tell you.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
