Inspite of having a decent pc setup, ubuntu keeps stopping.

My pc specs are as follows :-

RAM - 16 GB DDR4

HDD - 1TB (Windows 10 professional)

SSD - 240 GB(Ubuntu 20.04LTS)

GPU - Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 ti

CPU - Intel i5-9400F (6) @ 4.100GHz

My daily usage hardly requires 5 gigs of ram. Ubuntu works suddenly hangs and works fine again...after sometime again this thing happens...in discord the same thing happens but more frequently than the normal workstation. When i give my password to login, then also it takes time more than normal to start. Even bootup takes like roughly 40 seconds whereas windows boots within 2-3 seconds. Any help would be appreciated.

    Sound more like your ssd is dying, how old is that?

    Search for ssd health tools to check if that's it.

    I use Ubuntu in my workstation and never ran into any problems.

    which version of Ubuntu are you running? If something is up with your hdd/ssd it should tell you in the disk manager thingy or you can get and run some diagnostics

    SSD is dying or bad Mobo
    Run a memtest just to be sure it’s not the RAM

    Check temps

    @AalbatrossGuy I'm glad you fixed it! Were you playing videos when that was happening. I notice that, when I'm playing youtube on Firefox, my laptop fans go crazy, never crashes though

    @wicho no.....the thing is that i saw my processes running and understood that firefox's tracking prevention thing was literally taking up all of my current working mem.
    Like, if out of 16 gigs 5 gigs of memory is in use, firefox is taking up 4 gigs of memory inspite of showing that it is taking 1 gig. So i removed everything of firefox and installed chromium...and now everything's fine

    @AalbatrossGuy So weird! 9 tabs on Firefox and it doesn't look as crazy.

    Make sure your adblocker in FF is https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/...

    @AalbatrossGuy I'm sad you let FF go, it's been my default browser for like 8 years. I left it for a little bit when Chrome was released but got back a couple years later.

    Well, cheers and enjoy your PC!
