I have an HP 255-G7 Laptop running FreeBSD 14.3 RELEASE which every now and then freezes entirely while using Xorg. When the laptop freezes, the only thing that gives me a response is mouse and graphic tablet movement. At that point, I can't jump to a virtual console with CTRL+ALT+FUNCTIONKEY. I can't even shut the computer down by pressing the shutdown button for less than a second as I usually do. But trying to do both things makes the disk activity light indicator start blinking a lot for a moment. The laptop doesn't seem to get back to work even after half an hour of waiting or more. Something that i have been noticing is that the freeze seems to be triggered by an increase of resources use. I noticed that because the freezing starts usually after opening a program like a terminal emulator while there are already some programs running in other windows. It also happened one time while trying to use my laptop while copying 23GBs of data in a virtual console. I leave some routine files here for you to check up if you feel the need of it: dmesg output: https://pastebin.com/C27M5K0F rc.conf: https://pastebin.com/9wX0sKsa loader.conf: https://pastebin.com/wBrdL8NL As always, thanks to whoever that takes the time to help me with this.
