System freezes randomly for 5+ minutes at a time

Hi, I've been having random hard freezes (only remedy would to wait it out or push the dreaded power button while saying "shhhhhh, it'll be over soon" and weeping). I have looked at the logs and it seems journald has something to do with it, but I don't know what the problem is. I suspected that firefox/aurora globbling too much memory might be the problem, but the freezes occur even without any programs open at all except openbox and sxhkd.
Here's the relevant log which coincides with one of the times the freeze occurred:

I'm also unsure why 12:16:41 timestamp appears *after* 12:25:56!
What I want to know is what might be causing the freezes or how I can figure out what's causing the freezes, and hopefully how to fix it!
Thanks!
edit: I'm aware of the "Out of memory" error related to firefox/aurora, but the freeze happens even without firefox/aurora running!

Thanks! I had already tried the wiki article about disabling crash dumps and it didn't help! Also, I don't have access to previous logs anymore since "buhman" on [email protected] suggested I remove /var/log/journal directory which solved the problem for now (I waited for a few days before reporting to make sure I don't get freezes).
Also, he had this to say: "feel free to mention that even crap like buhDB is a better implementation of a binary log database"
I'll see when the freezes happen again (or if they do at all) and report back if it happens again.
Thanks!

  • Spinning wheel stays on for several minutes at a time, can't connect to app store

    Hi I have an imac, about two years old. It has recently started freezing constantly, can't connect to the app store and the rainbow spinning wheel stays up for several minutes at a time regardless of what apps are open or what I'm trying to do. Safari will work for a minute or two then will say it can't connect, I then have to quit the app then open it back up to have it fail again shortly after. I've cleared out my cache, started it in safe mode, done the disk repair through disk utility, done virus scans and nothing has helped. It started doing it suddenly - fine one day then not the next -  but I haven't put any new apps on or made any changes I can think of that might be the cause. Can anyone help?

    One possibility is that your hard drive is failing. If you don't have backups of any data you don't want to lose, that needs to be your number one priority. Get that data backed up. Once you have done that, you can start exploring options.
    Open Disk Utility, select your hard drive and take a look at the SMART status:
    If it says anything other than Verified, the drive is definitely failing. If it says Verified, all that means is that it isn't failing in a way that the drive can detect.

  • Coloured spinning wheel for several minutes at a time

    Help! Whenever we try and do anything in iMovie we get coloured spinning wheel for many minutes at a time. It won't do anything without "thinking" for ages. We have imported quite a lot of footage. Have we filled up its little brain?

    Which Mac do you have? How much memory is installed?

  • System freezes randomly in Mac OS X Leopard

    I have a problem with my system which freezing randomly. When it freezes, I can still move the mouse pointer around, but I can’t move or open any object on the screen.
    It doesn’t seem to be connected to a particular program since it might occur in various programs. I checked the hardware and also catalogue structures, authentication and so forth with disc warrior. Another odd thing is that I can’t seem to beable to boot from the installation DVD. I’ve looked in the various logs (for example the crash logs), but there doesn’t seem to be any notation of the freezes on any of the logs. Another thing is that I sometime have trouble starting the computer, pushing the on-button doesn’t result in anything. Is there anything else I might try before reinstalling the system?

  • CS4 randomly hangs for many minutes at a time

    I've been doing a number of editing jobs on CS4 for a while now. Started out on a mac but happened to have a pretty decent Windows 7 system on hand so I decided to use that. Here are the specs:
    Windows 7 (64-bit)
    Intel quad-core i7
    6 GB RAM
    CS4 installed on 1TB C drive
    Project files and scratch disk on striped volume consisting of 3 500GB SATA drives
    This setup was performing spendidly on the first few projects I did, but seems to be bogging down as I work on more projects, even though the available disk space doesn't seemed to have changed much. It seems to bog down more on large projects.
    What I'm noticing is that as I browse source files and try to set in/out points etc., CS4 will play for a little while and then hang for many minutes at a stretch. It will eventually come back and be usable for a short while but then hang again.
    The strange thing is that when it is hung, the system resource monitor shows that the CS4 process is not responding, but it shows very low CPU usage on all cores and no surge in memory usage. Disk I/O also remains relatively low, leaving me at a loss to explain the hangs. I experienced something very similar on CS4 for mac when dealing with these same projects.
    The projects have a lot of DV footage split into 2.6GB chunks that I am concatenating together. They also have some HD MJPEG AVIs that I captured using a Black Magic Intensity Pro card.
    I should also add that when I finally do get the projects finished and start rendering them, the rendering is very fast overall, which confirms my theory that my machine's performance is more than adequate and these hangs are due to bugs and I/O bottlenecks in CS4 itself.
    Needless to say, this is very frustrating. I have less of a problem if a program needs to do something and explains to me why I need to wait while it does it, but I don't like my programs to go away for hours without telling me where they're going.
    Adobe people, if you're listening, please respond to this. I have seen a number of other complaints about similar issues. At least let us know if you're aware of these issues and what you are doing about it.
    Thanks,
    Carl

    Well, any progress is good, eh? For MJPEG's, most of us will recommend either the MainConcept, or the Morgan. I wonder how the BM MJPEG CODE's would work, without the card - just thinking there? BTW - more users like the MainConcept by a few.
    As far as Adobe goes, if they are going to put up a forum, in my opinion, they should be actively monitoring it and responding to issues. Otherwise it becomes more of a liability than an asset and merely serves to call attention to their own obliviousness.
    You make a good point, but I feel that Adobe sees these as an asset in that the best T/S work is done by other users. I always suggest that anyone having any issue with an Adobe product, stop by the fora first. Most never need to go any farther. For tons of free T/S, Adobe pays for the servers and the administration of the fora.
    Still, and this is between just you and me, I'd love to hear that there are some "monitors," who do read. As I mentioned, this forum is blessed to have the few Adobe employees, that we do. Photoshop has Chris Cox, one of the developers of PS. Even in his role, however, I believe that he only offers solutions and explanations, and does not "take notes." One exception was when he was compiling a list of "problem fonts" for PS, and asked for contributions with full details on what problems they caused.
    When a new upgrade, or an update is issued, we do see more Adobe representation here. It usually starts with a post that something is coming out, and as many details, as are possible to divulge, are given. As we draw closer to the release date, more details are often forthcoming. This presence usually stays until after the release, and we get to comment from the trenches, how the update/upgrade works. Then, I know that notes are being taken. After a bit, that presence fades (as far as we can tell, but who knows?). Sometimes I wonder about those shadows on the wall in the Video Lounge... oh wait, those are just grease stains from the yoodles.
    Good luck on your Project, and please keep us updated. My brain just keeps coming back to the MJPEG's, but they probably are not part of the issue.

  • Screen freezes randomly for short periods of time [Solved]

    I'm not sure when this started to happen, but my screen will freeze (not refresh) randomly for short periods of time (about 5 seconds). The mouse cursor still active and anything I click on will eventually catch up once the screen refreshes.
    I'm assuming this is an Xorg issue, or perhaps and Nvidia issue, but here are some details:
    KDE 4.4
    Kernel 2.6.32-ARCH 64
    Nvidia 195.36.15
    And here is my Xorg.conf:

    What you can try is to add:
    option "UseEvents" "false"
    (also try "true" and see if it works for you)
    to your xorg.conf under the device section. Play with both false and true settings, UseEvents is somewhat related to the short freezes and the nvidia guys mentioned they disabled this feature a few driver releases ago (as far as i know from researching their forums). Otherwise we probably have to wait for a new driver series.
    Another tweak would be to check if you use MSI for your nvidia card:
    cat /proc/interrupts:
    22: 0 4 1106 297835 IO-APIC-fasteoi ohci_hcd:usb3
    23: 1 17 3275 890447 IO-APIC-fasteoi hda_intel
    27: 2 13 1035 342106 PCI-MSI-edge ahci
    28: 5 337 26356 7568321 PCI-MSI-edge eth0
    29: 6 92 10219 1998835 PCI-MSI-edge nvidia
    NMI: 0 0 0 0 Non-maskable interrupts
    add this to /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf: (does not work with all nvidia cards but i can confirm it works with the 200 series)
    options nvidia NVreg_EnableMSI=1
    While using MSI slightly improves performance some people reported it also shortens the occasional freezes.
    As said in the post above this is only for nvidia and it may or may not help for some gpu's.
    Best regards

  • System freezes randomly

    Alright, so whenever I start up my mac, it goes through the whole startup process fine. It loads Finder and I can start opening menues or starting programs. Then, roughly 30-120 seconds after the startup completes, the system freezes. This is usually a result of mouse movement, but sometimes due to other circumstances, like opening programs or animating my dock. I can't tell what the problem is, and I can never get far enough into my system information to get any clues as to what is causing it. Any suggestions?

    Hi Rorschach Bat,
    did you ever do some system maintenance, especially the part about cache-cleaning: Mac OS X 10.3/10.4: System maintenance? Do you have another computer from which you can startup and put to corrupted one in target disk mode? If so, navigate to /usr/sbin/ and delete the kextcache.

    anything just please help

    One possibility is that your hard drive is failing. If you don't have backups of any data you don't want to lose, that needs to be your number one priority. Get that data backed up. Once you have done that, you can start exploring options.
    Open Disk Utility, select your hard drive and take a look at the SMART status:
    If it says anything other than Verified, the drive is definitely failing. If it says Verified, all that means is that it isn't failing in a way that the drive can detect.

  • Curve 9300 gets timer on screen for ten minutes at a time apps all deleted, everything closed. still....

    Please help me, Im at my wits end and about to stomp on my blackberry. The last couple weeks everytime I push a button it gets the timer up. its faster to take the battery out at this point than wait for the timer. drives me nuts!
    So I searched for fixes and all anyone says is to make sure all apps "close", Well I deleted all my apps and closed all the ones I cant delete.
    Still happens!
    I held down alt and pressed lglg and deleted the event log,
    Still Happens!
    Deleted everything saved on the internet from cookies to passwords.
    Still Happens!
    I reset my phone by taking out the battery for 5 min a few times a day
    Still Happens!
    What is going on here? Theres no way Im buying another blackberry if I can't fix this.
    I have lots of memory because everything is deleted, Am I not allowed to have 1 app on my pos bb?

    Sometimes things just fail. OS Corruption. Hardware failure. Etc. etc. etc. All are possible. We can't truly diagnose here...all we can do is conduct various processes to hopefully deduce to a most likely root cause. If you want a true and fast diagnosis, you must take your BB to a qualified technician who can examine it in their hands. We can only do so much at an internet distance.

    Is there a way to reset it to factory settings? 
    Yes, there is a specific command for that. But it does not reload your OS, so if the problem happens to be within your OS itself, conducting that won't help.
    Tell me how you'd like to proceed. Your choices are to continue with the deductive diagnostic processes we can give you versus seeking in-person support.
    Let us know.

  • Early 2005 PowerMac G5, System Freezes Randomly.

    I've found this to be a tough one.
    This Dual Core, 2.0 Ghz G5 is freezing at random times. I'll leave it running over night and the next day it's all locked up with the case fans running on full - apparently it's in open firmware mode - its running on firmware code at this point I think. The problem seems to be hardware related.
    Clean OS X.4 install, All latest updates.
    It passes the extended hardware Test, no problems.
    For me, That narrows it down to just about anything.
    I have found no sure way to reproduce the freezing problem and I'm wondering what part to replace first.
    This computer is used heavily for editing of large video files.
    I was leaning towards a new mainboard for the first part replacement.
    Mark
    Powermac G5 Eary 2005 Dual 2.0 Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   Baseline system, no additonal upgrades present.

    Mark,
    We just went through a problem that sounds very similar to yours. We have a G5 Dual Core 2.3 Mhz machine running 10.4.4. We were getting freezes in photoshop CS2. After weeks of this happening we called Apple, they first had us reset the power manager and run disk utilities from the start up CD. It passes the disk utility. After the call it locked up again. We called a second time and they had us repair permissions on the hard drive and reset the NVRam and openfirmware. They also had us run the Apple Hardware test and that passed. The computer locked again. We called a third time and they had us create a new user and install the Photoshop in that new user account. The machine locked again. We called again and the tech said it was probably either the logic board or processor. I called the local apple store and brought it to the store. One thing that we found is that in photoshop it might take a few hours before it would lock up, but if we put in some sort of video game like Battle field 1942 it usually froze in under 10 minutes. At the store the tech put a program on the computer that is suppose to tax the processor, after 15 minutes with 20 or so programs running at full speed and doing all sorts of tasks it was still running smooth. I asked the tech if he minded if I played my video game and he said not at all, with in 6 minutes it locked solid. I opted to by a $99 procare card that jumped me to the head of the repair line, the next day they called me and said that they replaced the processor and they thought the problem was solved. I went to the store with my game and played there for a half hour and everything seemed fine. I brought the machine back to work and so far so good. If you have apple care on the machine, I suggest you find a game and head to your local apple store. The processor was $1015 and the repair was $135, but we had apple care and didn't pay anything.

  • H61MA-E35 system freezes randomly with 16GB RAM

    Hi folks,
    I think I'm having a problem with this H61MA-E35 motherboard.
    I have the following specs:
    - Intel Core i5 3450
    - Corsair Vengeance 16GB (PC3-12800, 1600 Mhz) (2x8GB)
    - Antec VP Power 450 watt
    - ATI Radeon HD 5670
    The problem is that the system randomly freezes in Win7 64bits. Sometimes just quickly after boot, otherwise after 1 hour or even longer.
    First I thought it was the graphic card, but when I used Intel i5's internal graphic device, the same freezing problem occured.
    Second, I thought it was the memory causing the problem. However, I tested the memory in memtest 86+ (6 passes). When I test each memory stick seperate, then no freezes occur. I also tested cheap Transcend 2GB memory, without problems as well.
    Is there something known about issues of the H61MA-E35 and the max. amount of allowed RAM (16GB)?

    Thanks for the quick respond!
    I think 1600 was supported after one of the BIOS updates (http://nl.msi.com/product/mb/H61MA-E35--B3-.html#/?div=BIOS).
    - Improved memory compatibility.
    The BIOS settings weren't configured by me, but by a friend. Here are the BIOS screens, which values should I edit?
    Possible DRAM Frequency includes auto, 800, 1066, 1333, 1400 and 1600.
    Should I set them to 1333?
    These values were apparently set as well. Should I set them back to auto?
    EDIT:
    - Unfortunately I have no extra pair of memory to test.
    - Is a CMOS clearing method better than just changing these BIOS settings?
    EDIT 2:
    This is the RAM memory: http://www.corsair.com/en/memory-by-product-family/vengeance/vengeance-16gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz16gx3m2a1600c10.html

  • Macbook pro i5 2.4 + seagate momentus XT 500gb system freezes randomly

    Hello all,
    I have a problem with my Macbook pro i5 2.4GHz 4Gb Ram with upgraded hard drive Seagate Momentus XT 500Gb (with latest freeware update).
    My issue began like 2 day of use of my new macbook pro (which dates a month ago). Since then, I re-installed my system like 5 times due to my problem.
    When installing for the first time (clean install) the Mac OS X together with iLife, Office 2008 and Aperture, to my new HD there was no problems. The first time my OS freezed was after restoring my Aperture Library (some 16Gb)from an external HD to my new drive. The symptoms were that all my running applications stopped responding (safari, mail, aperture even finder) and dock dissappeared.
    After hard reboot the system loads but the dock is missing, no application can be accessed.
    I tried reparing permissions with Mac OS install disk without success.
    New system install repares the problem. After that the issue appears randomly while using finder after external disk refused to eject or while copying some datas, or simply while using some other application like typing a document in MS word.
    Thank you in advance for all your advices / solutions.

    Seems that the new firmware update for Macbook pro 2010 version 1.9 resolved my problem.

  • Renaming Tracks Freezes iTunes for Two Minutes

    I am not sure if this is an iTunes 8, Windows XP (I suspect so), or an iPhone 2.2 software issue.
    When renaming audio tracks in a playlist on iPhone 3G, for instance by adding a zero in order to
    correct a sequence of tracks in a playlist
    iTunes freezes for about two minutes.
    I assume this is the time it is taking to sync the change, although, there is no other indicator
    that there is a syncing process going on.
    This may also be a similar symptom to: iTunes 8x (Windows XP) seems to take an inordinate
    amount of time to recognize the iPhone after plugging into the USB2 port.
    Thanks for any advice

    If you copy these two files over to her account, they will be exactly the same.
    What are the iTunes library files?
