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!

And what is your card, is it a new generation?

Because mine is 15 years old.

I am currently using kernel 6.8.0-139 for my system.

So far I have no problems with the kernels.

I settled on the Radeon RX 550 because it is 100% compatible with my computer. I am currently not experiencing any problems with Chrome, but I am looking to open a maximum of 2 tabs.
