Machine randomly locking up after system update

[Kobold]

@MirceaKitsune

Locking up means total freeze: Can’t move the mouse cursor, can’t toggle the num lock / caps lock keyboard LED’s, can’t switch to another TTY… just the image frozen on the screen.

So if your Keyboard LED’s are not blinking, like Num/Capslock/Scroll.

That means you can maybe revive your system with REISUB hotkeys,
atleast you dont need to hardpower down your system:

[HowTo] reboot / turn off your frozen computer: REISUB/REISUO

Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆ This tutorial was created because people are using a hard power off during freezes, so this will teach you how to turn off your computer when everything is frozen using softer means. So whenever you see someone saying they had to “Power Off” or “Hard Reset” their system without doing a REISUB, please send them here!

The journal is also filled with Firefox error’s, i hope your mother is using firefox with Ublock Origins to block all the Popups.
