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

I agree with the other comments, re termal issues, may be worth checking the fans (esp for dust) and replacing the thermal paste.

Regarding memory, again maybe worth just reseating it.  School hardware does go through quite a lot over time.


Hope this helps


Paul
