At first, I also thought it was a hardware issue. I checked:
- Bios settings (tried enabling/disabling some stuff)
- HDD (ran smart tests and xfs_check, xfs_repairs on all of them)
- Graphics card (tried different drivers)
As long as I don't use firefox, everything is well. I'll try, for a
period, to use opera or something else... , and leave my PC on.
