My custom built computer keeps intermittently freezing (which can happen within a minute or 10 minutes, so means that downloading can be challenging unless the computer holds out long enough for say 30 or more minutes), going to Sleep so often & having to move my mouse to wake up the screen, and intermittent automatic restarts are completely unrelated to MX Linux or the now wiped over Windows 7, as Those errors have been around since January.
The only error that has started relating to MX 19.1 is that, whenever I send e-mails from a global Log In/Sign Out web mail service, the incorrect Hour is displayed for some reason, eg 11.20am instead of 3.20pm (whether or not I disable Conky which has a different time altogether from the Desktop), as I've sent e-mails in the afternoon but the Sent hour is listed as in the morning.
Due to most of the above, I'm now wondering whether there is a Hardware fault in my computer, but determining for sure if this or what is the source of the problem and remedying it depends on what's causing these ongoing issues. Maybe Linux has an equivalent of Speccy as part of a series of checks. I no longer have Windows 7 to fall back on as a very last resort, as it got erased during my attempt to install MX 19.1 onto my hard drive, which has partially installed but not the GRUB section which is erratic.
This computer worked perfectly before January 2020 and I am very keen to have MX 19.1 installed on my Hard Drive asap so that I can save and store documents and programs without having to re-save and restore them after they're lost once the distro is shut down from the USB stick.
