A few minutes ago I was watching a Youtube video when my system froze.
The poster was saying the word "snake" or "break", and the system
suddenly froze, repeating the syllable "ake", "ake", "ake", "ake",
"ake", "ake", ad infinitum. Neither {CTRL}{ALT}{DEL} nor Magic SysReq
had any effect. I had to physically power down and restart. During the
bootup I saw a message flash by about "File system repaired".
The "File system repaired" is to be expected when you power down a
system using the off-switch.
I doubt that had anything to do with the cause.
I run with xorg-server set suid, and no elogind. Could that have
caused it?
It might, but then I would expect it more often.
Did, by any chance, the cooling fail (even temporarily) and the system
hard-locked when the overheat protection of the CPU or GPU kicked in?
