I just recently moved from Win10 to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS .3 for a week. Everything was fined except one thing: Ubuntu usually freezes randomly (cant do anything, cant move the mouse or enter any key).

My laptop is hp 15da0xx, 8GB ram, core i7, 250MB Vram, Graphic card: Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 620 (rev 07).

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Does it happen when you use certain software like Chromium or VS Code? Does it happen when the machine is left idle? – Archisman Panigrahi Feb 21 '22 at 05:19
What does cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness report? This is a common problem when swappiness is set too low. – mchid Feb 21 '22 at 05:26
If cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness is set to 60, you might be able to fix the problem by following these instructions and limiting cstates to 1. – mchid Feb 21 '22 at 05:32
when it happen i just use google chrome – Hữu Trường Nguyễn Feb 21 '22 at 05:55
i change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT from "quiet splash" to "quiet splash intel_idle.max_cstate=1" and run sudo update-grub, but it's still 60 when i check cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness – Hữu Trường Nguyễn Feb 21 '22 at 06:06
You changed a video setting. How does this affect swap? – David Feb 21 '22 at 08:21
Check your cache. For 8 GB, it should be set to something like 11 GB. See https://linuxhandbook.com/increase-swap-ubuntu/ or https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-space-on-ubuntu-20-04 – Bob Aug 09 '23 at 12:32
