Wouldn't be the first time that I've seen it. Again, what tests have you done against it to rule it out as a possibility? At times it would even freeze before the desktop comes up.. I don't think it is the GPU here.. As I can not test it, being soldered down.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its one of the only things that you haven't done so far, so what else could it be? And what have you got to lose by ruling it out as a fault? spikey_richie 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can be just on the desktop for a few minutes, and it freezes. Sometimes it freezes before it gets to the desktop. What more do you want from me?? IT FREEZES no matter wth I do.. Can't see how stressing the GPU does anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this line of inquiry comes from you mentioning that the OS doesn't acknowledge that the GPU is there. Now I'm wondering how we can do something that would allow us to rule out the GPU being the issue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand why you suspect it might be GPU related, but as the OP has stated, its onboard graphix, so if the "GPU" is faulty its a new CPU and possibly MB for the system. OP: Does the system freeze during your RAM tests for instance? or does it freeze when its trying to initialize any graphic "intensive" process (inc just the desktop) can you run benchmarks in pure CLI without any slowdowns or freezes?

This DOES NOT happen while running memtest86+ But, it freezes on any desktop, KDE, Cinnamon, XFCE. I can test running it in TTY1. Or just GRUB CLI. See if it freezes the keyboard there.

Was made several several years ago, too.. In the final version, this doesn't happen. I opened it up and see no liquid metal on the board. That's the FIRST thing I checked.

Mhm, I contacted Minisforum (maker) about RMAing it. Or whatever the #! they do.. Edit: I have previously, but doing everything they asked me to do, I couldn't do it..
