Fresh install keeps freezing every ~10 minutes

Like the title says. Fresh install done on an HP Laptop 17-by3613dx. Frankly dont know much about computers, much less linux as a whole, so Im kinda at a loss here. Sorry for any possible dumb statements due to the aforementioned fact. Same happening on another laptop I attempted to install it on, a Lenovo something or other.

Hi,

If its happening on multiple machines I begin to question the integrity of the install media itself.

But moving on its always a good idea to start here:

Here's the system information, any clues?

Can you update the kernel to 5.14.xx at least ?

and how would I go about doing that?

System settings → Kernel → choose kernel 5.14.

No option for it, odd/

On console as root mhwd-kernel -i linux514.

Perhaps, you must install kernel 5.15.

Says I need to run as root, whatever that means

*Scratch that, gives me this

available kernels:

it means put sudo in front.

sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux514

PS - if you are going to be using a linux system, you should familiarize yourself with a few things. Like ‘root’. If you dont know what that is, then that is a bit like not knowing what ‘administrator’ or ‘Drive C:’ is.

Sort your mirrors and updates first

sudo pacman-mirrors -g && sudo pacman -Syyu

Installed, but still freezes, although took a whole lot longer to freeze, at least the first time starting it up. Suppose thats a start.

Ya reckon installing another version of Manjaro could fix this?
