OK so my laptop seems to be suffering for a while now from performance issues and it is pretty much felt in any work load, but here's the top. i recorded a video on OBS, 22 Minutes long of a chrome browser (1 tab) and a camera(using DroidX,using my phone camera). nothing else open. at the end of the recording i clicked on "stop" OBS popped a "wait/force quit" message, i clicked on "wait" because i didn't want to lose the recording and the computer then completely froze, 10 minutes later i was just booted to terminal, had to force reset the laptop, and came to find out, no audio on the video, for a 22 minutes video. i tried installing some monitor to check for thermals, see if anything is thermal throttle or causing too much heat but cant seem to do that in Linux with an AMD CPU. notes: 1.the laptop fans were screaming throughout the recording. 2.the laptop was upgraded to 32GB crucial ram 3.the SSD was upgraded to a 2 TB Sabrent rocket
I used compressed air before (also a few weeks/months ago) and will try again now, but it seems the browsers or Linux or the laptop’s design might be causing issues.
It appears the problem might be hardware-related. Have you attempted to reattach your CPU? That could help first. For software, run this command after each reboot: echo powersave | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
