this might be a bit of a dumb issue but whenever the system has to do too many things a once it just freezes entirely and i have to hold down the power button to shut it down

at first it was just if i pressed alt+tab too quickly whilst something was loading it would freeze up, but now it’s at the point where even receiving a discord ping in the background whilst watching a youtube video makes it freeze

there’s nothing i can do to resolve these freezes, the best that happens is when i press alt+tab during a freeze my cursor appears

specs:
ram: 16gb ddr4
storage: 1tb (850gb free)
cpu: ryzen 5 5500gt (intergrated graphics)

idk if i should just reinstall linux at this point or something but can the linux overlords help me on this one kthx cheez
