Best way to analyze frequent OS freezes

Issues & Assistance
1

Hi,

I’m having some problems with my setup where the OS freezes several times per week. Usually it’s accompanied with the Caps Lock LED blinking (kernel panic I guess).

Please can you give me some tips about figuring out what might be causing the issue. It’s something that is happening for a longer period now, I also tried using different kernels but usually using the zen kernel.

I usually look up the journalctl logs but coulnd’t find anything significant, like fatal errors etc. journalctl -b -1

It’s a Dell Vostro 5515 laptop, 32GB RAM, 16 core AMD Ryzen 7 5700U, AMD Radeon graphics.
