I will try that. This is a different behaviour however as it is not single VMs 
that freezes, it literally is everything. Leaving Xorg and going to a console 
doesn't work, nothing I do has any effect. I am not sure if magic sysrq is 
enabled on qubes, I guess I would have to test it while it is still working, 
but if it is, it also didn't work.

It is not a temperature problem, they are far below the standard temperatures 
even. I will run a memory test and report back if that can be the problem.

[qubes-users] System freezes several times a day

2017-09-25 Thread Jan Martin Krämer
Hi everyone,

I have been using Qubes 3.2 for a while. After my harddrive crashed I got a new 
harddrive and had to reinstall Qubes and I think pretty much after that time it 
started freezing. The entire system goes from "perfectly fine" to a state where 
the screen looks normal, but the sound gets stuck in a one second long loop and 
the system no longer responds to any keypres, the mouse doesn't react, it is 
completely 100% frozen.

This happens several times a day now and turning off the power is the only 
thing I can do. Reinstalling 3.2 from scratch didn't fix it.

I have no idea how to diagnose the problem so I need help with that. Which log 
files should I provide, ...?

Best regards,
Jan
