- Here this typically happens when watching video. As if some memory region gets exhausted after viewing some 100'000 frames.
- I've seen the mouse freezing once, typically it stays movable.
- Audio continues while video freezes.
- I've seen Firefox going <defunct> (in that short time between the first application freezing and everything else freezing, too).
- With everything frozen, no login via SSH possible. PC simply doesn't answer over Ethernet. Switching to another console (ctrl-alt-F1) isn't possible, either.
- Judging by CPU fan noise, one core (of two) typically gets 100% load.
I just installed the 4.10.0.19 kernel I found in the regular package repo and will report back how long it works without freeze. My freeze experience so far was with 4.10.0.20.
