Laptop freezes and sound loops

Support
1

My laptop sometimes freezes with looping sound. I hadn’t this problem when I was using windows. But after switching to linux(ubuntu), it started to freeze. Then i tried to switch to another linux distro(manjaro), but it didn’t try and i still have this problem. It is freezing randomly. Most of the time I was just watching youtube.

My laptop settings:

Operating System: Manjaro Linux

This could be an issue with RAM usage. I too have only 8GB and since YouTube is such a memory hog, have to restart the browser every so often.

Try running e.g. watch -n30 free -h in a terminal window to keep an eye on things. I assume you have a swap file or swap partition?

It might be helpful to provide the output of inxi -Fazy so we can get a better idea of what system you are running.

By the way, welcome to the Manjaro Forums!
