What game? Before your system crashes completely, the game is supposed to crash to desktop (CTD) instead and tell you why it died. Open your system journal as root and look up the exact moments before your system crashes. You should find some errors there. If the log entries aren't self explanatory, you could share them with us.

I was like that I kept going back to windows until I used arch it has a steep learning curve but it works well with my hardware without messing around like I was on pop os or an Ubuntu based distro. You can use a script to install it so you don't have to follow all that stuff online but people apparently get angry about that, like literally just plug the usb in an type "archinstall" and then pick what you want. I was on gnome but just recently swapped to xfce because Wayland is a bit shit for Nvidia. I am still learning but all my stuff works on arch even my mic interface which usually never did and my soundcard and I can still play all my games with my mates it's pretty chill. Uses like 1 GB or less of ram on idle and use gamemode to optimise.

>are we still avoiding ARM processors
The only usable ARM computers are macs, since applel went all into it, but at the same time they dropped the ball with thousands of vidya, software and drivers that'll never get ported, same shit when they dropped 32 bit support.
>>
>>107690646
Are you planning on using Windows on it? If so, do you want to run much software other than what it came with?
Yes? Then it's crap garbage avoid like the plague.
Are you going to install Linux? Are there drivers available for the hardware? Are you willing to build software from source when a precompiled binary isn't available?
Then it's much more viable, and should get you more battery life per weight and amount of performance.

Even linux support for these chips isn't great. I was interested in the qualcomm laptops, but qualcomm's lack of support for linux made me lose interest. I am so tired of arm hardware with poor vendor support.

>>107690646
Snapdragon has been great for me, I've been dailying mine for about 16 months now. People like >>107697328 will meme that software doesn't work because they haven't actually used one recently. Nearly everything "just werks" without any special config. The only limitations I've found involve software that's legacy and/or niche, such as an ECU tool for a 20 year old car and the firmware updater for Innoasis MP3 players.

For a laptop, ARM gives you both battery life and thermals (the fans almost never spin up). In the rare occasion I need to do something ARM can't handle, such as the Innoasis firmware updater, I just use my desktop. If you need to run a lot of oddball software and it's your only computer, ARM probably isn't for you. But if you're doing fairly regular things or have other computers (like most of /g/ presumably), ARM is ideal for a mobile device.

this is fucking hilarious. doesn't matter if apex, valorant, rust, cs2 faceit or any other league. any FPS is currently unplayable because kids run color/ML aimbots on their second pc and forward inputs to their gayming pc with this 40$ passthrough device. and all the jeet AC devs are too stupid to write an aimbot detection algo that doesn't result in 6 million false positive bans. (the valorant jeets literally used their RAT malware anticheat to check&ban players that stream a centered screen region which is smaller than 512x512 pixels).

i only hire unlicensed white drug addicts and alchoholics. if you hire a white boomer (jew) tradesman what happens is the white guy shakes your hand, pockets half the money, then hires mexicans to do the job. The boomer trade millionare will do your roof for 30,000. 20 DREAMERS will show up and leave nails all over your yard while charging you for plywood they take home to build another room for their family. but 3k and a few racist jokes will get you a top tier white tweaker who will work by himself and get the job done just as fast.

The old fan is making a slight rattling noise on startup but it goes away after 5 min. It's spinning at 3000rpm to cool down Athlon x250 which gets hot very quickly during cpu spikes (it shuts itself down at 70C). I'd like to replace it but I can't find any 70mm fans. Is there any CPU fan model (with a heatsink or not) that would fit this old motherboard (released in 2009), if yes then which size should I choose?

man I had this same CPU back in 2009.
good times and the computer actually still works
>>
>>107696558

Ok, I'll see what I can do. This thing is working for almost 14 years nonstop, surprised it lasted so far. The CPU itself is very sensitive to near anything and tends to reach 100% often (browsing the modern web is near impossible), otherwise it's cool (26C when idle), probably it's too outdated.
>>
>>107696630

Yeah it seems to be durable (it survived many disasters from overheating to physical shocks) . I still like this motherboard due to its versatility. The CPU is perfectly fine for XP era games and programs which is why I still keep it.
