Why Does My Laptop Keep Freezing?
Asked by
CuriousCat42
I'm new to Linux and recently got a Thinkpad T14 Gen 6 AMD (14"). I'm using Linux Mint with the Cinnamon desktop environment. Lately, my laptop freezes up; I can still move the cursor, but I can't click on anything, not even to close an application. When it happens, I can't reboot normally and have to power it off manually. I'm looking for guidance on how to troubleshoot this issue, especially since it's a brand new laptop.

I've had similar freezing issues with Linux Mint, and for me, it was caused by Firefox. Switched to a Chromium-based browser, and the problem went away completely. You might want to try that to see if it helps!

Have you checked the Drivers app? Ensuring that the right drivers are installed could solve the freezing problem. It's worth a shot!
