Ok you can update your kernel using mainline. I switched to 5.7 and things works better. Then, I guess you should look at your ram use when it starts to freeze. I think you are swapping, and the memory to disk transfert is capped by your disk memory freq and your disk speed. Don’t forget to feedback when you’ll test it out. Regards πŸ˜‰

I am a bit reluctant to update kernel to 5.7 πŸ˜….
I am trying to update my BIOS and that is also becoming a bit difficult right now.
