Also, it seems there would be at most 2 GiB of RAM. FWIW, I'm surprised it would only allow 2GB, since the previous generation chipsets (for Core[non-2]Duo laptops) had a limit of 3GB. So, I suspect it can actually take 4GB (or even 8GB). Stefan

I too am running older hardware (GeForce 630), and I was getting frequent lockups on a previous version of Debian (either Jessie or Stretch, I think), so I switched to nVidia's proprietary driver and the problem went away. Somewhere along the line of Debian upgrades, the system reverted to using nouveau. I'm currently running Buster, and my machine spontaneously reboots once a day or so. I've just replaced nouveau with the nVidia driver (version 390.143). So far, so good. I'm hoping my machine will become stable once again. -- /~\ Charlie Gibbs | \ /| "Alexa, define 'bugging'."

Tnx for your time Is there a specific reason for needing GNOME on this machine? From https://www.cnet.com/reviews/hp-pavilion-dv6300-preview/ I gather it has a rather old processor (Celeron M 440 to Core 2DuoT7200) -- which one do you have exactly? Also, it seems there would be at most 2 GiB of RAM. I'd thus suggest to install something lightweight like LXDE, Fluxbox, IceWM. Using a plain window manager will reduce the number of GUI background applications and that may free some essential RAM and CPU resources that you can use for your application of interest. Of course, if you need to stay with a mordern DE that requires GPU accelleration you could always try to install an old proprietary NVidia driver. The Debian package would be `nvidia-legacy-304xx-kernel-dkms` but I am afraid the last release it was part of was Debian Stretch (Debian 9).
