I've been running arch linux for quite a few months and it has been the best distribution i've used. However, sometimes, it just decides to freeze.I may be using the computer, the bottom bar shows the CPU load is at 0.30, perfectly normal, then all of sudden it starts going up, 1, 3, 5, 10 and goes beyond 20 if I let it. The whole system becomes unresponsive and I can't even kill X.I'm pretty sure it's my browser the one which is doing that, since when I realize the load is going up, I can kill it and everything goes back to normal. However this happens both with firefox and chromium, which leaves me thinking it might be a flash bug, however, everything is up to date and I don't see anyone else complaining about it.Is there some way I can profile it to make sure what is the process taking over the CPU?
How can I detect what is making my linux freeze?
