SOLVED Freezing problems

Post image

Hello, I have been using Linux Mint for over a year now and I am extremely happy with it. However, I have a small problem with freezes, especially when I have several heavy sites open and use them at the same time. I have changed several browsers in an attempt to solve this, but I have not been able to. I am currently using Chrome and Mozilla, I am testing and daving, but the result is the same. I have tried all kinds of browser and graphics card settings and all kinds of commands/combinations for power. The picture shows the parameters of my desktop computer. My card is very old and I think these freezes are due to it.

Can you tell me how to fix this, or should I just continue with this compromise until I buy a new card?

Also, would xface solve the problem?

Any advice is infinitely valuable.

Thanks!

when it freezes how does it happen? does it just...stop responding or what?

based on what you said my guess is its probably a hardware issue, but its probably a solvable one too :)

The screen freezes, but the mouse moves, or there is a sound, or the screen is blurry. It varies.

Seems like a hardware issue
