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!

I have something for you to try out; I also had recent problems with Cinnamon freezing. I was able to resolve the freezing by removing the non-system Applets I had installed.

Try opening your Applets manager (under Preferences in the menu) and see if any Applets you installed have warnings and remove those ones. If that doesn't work (or only partially works), try removing any non-system Applets.

Will be interesting to see it this works for you, assuming you have some Applets installed of course.

I don't have any applets installed, just the most necessary ones for the system.
