Good Morning All
I have been given 3 ex school RM Computers and I am just starting to
work my way through them. The first one's spec is:
RM Tower 214 with a i5-3550 x 4 and 8gb ram and a 1tb ssd.
I have loaded Ubuntu 24 onto it but after a minute of use it stops
working. It freezes. All I have done is open system settings nothing
else. Is there anything I can do to try to work out why it is freezing
please?
Thanks
Hi Richard,
My first thoughts would be bad memory or a thermal issue; boots up,
heats up or uses a particular memory sector, then dies.
I'd try swapping memory chips out, assuming there are multiple memory
chips, to try them one at a time. If it locks up with /every/ chip you
know it's none of them. If not memory boot into the BIOS and keep an eye
on the temperature.. if it dies at the same temperature that's the
issue. Maybe check the CPU has enough thermal bonding to the heat sink.
Kind regards,
Julian
