    yeah, i think you might be right about RAM. Because one day i was holding my latop in my one hand and i saw this screen flickering thing. that was the first time this issue happened. And yeah i can not login to tty when the freeze happens this mean system is completely blocked and is not a graphical problem. I dont think its OOM issue as i have enough RAM and no system doesnt slow down a couple of seconds before freezing entirely. The freeze is random and instant and it happens sometimes when i slide laptop so i think its due to RAM loose connection. Not sure if the RAM is soldered one or is detachable. I will try to replug it and see if it fixes the problem. btw the machine in question is macbook pro 2012 and thanks for replying kind stranger!

    Edit: the ram is detachable.

    | When did it start to happen

    idk exactly but it happened once or twice last week but yesterday it happened like 4 to 5 times in a single day randomly and then i thought switching to another distro or clean install might help but it did freeze once since i have installed mint xfce yesterday.

    thank you kind stranger for taking your time to help me out,

    for context, i have been using debian 12 for last 6 months perfectly fine. Its just from last week my laptop is randomly freezing and then I have to hard reset it everytime this happens, (pressing power off button for few seconds to force shutdown).

    Mint XFCE on MBP '12

    Back then I was using fedora 38 KDE, and I was looking for other options b/c KDE was causing some issues on fedora. Used Mint XFCE for a brief time, then used OpenSUSE Leap & Tumbleweed before finally moving to Debian (current) setup.

    I switched to OpenSUSE from Fedora 38. This was back in Nov 2023. Had used fedora for around 1 yr or so and used opensuse after that for few months before I finally switched to Debian.
