The PC is a ca. 2006 Toshiba Satellite L 100-113. I switched from Windows XP back in 2014 and have experienced random freezes since then which I did not see in XP. adding irqpoll t9 kernel params used to help.

    Please define freezing and doing what. – Rui F Ribeiro Jan 29 '19 at 14:51
  • freezing == mouse - slow or random moves, wifi - packets are lost, even local router is not reached – Alexis Ciprex Jan 29 '19 at 15:08
  • Long story short looks like Linux randomly disables or restarts usb hub. – Alexis Ciprex Jan 29 '19 at 15:13

    Which USB hub are you talking about? Also what is your wifi chipset? Please edit the question. – Rui F Ribeiro Jan 29 '19 at 15:14
  • I posted laptop name. I am using standalone wifi usb module. Well, generally it looks like Linux restarts usb randomly hub or not hub. Sorry i would edit but i am on mobile. – Alexis Ciprex Jan 29 '19 at 15:27

    Depending on the year of your model you have got an Atheros or Intel wifi, none of which is fairly problematic. Have you got more debugging data to add to the question? – Rui F Ribeiro Jan 29 '19 at 15:30
  • unfortunately not, any tips on that? I already posted model in Source question – Alexis Ciprex Jan 29 '19 at 15:40

    The question is too broad, you might have to do your leg of work I am afraid. It also does not add much to the question saying Windows was ok 5 years ago, I think. Try to add the basics, how much RAM, which browser you use or what you are doing doing when it freezes. – Rui F Ribeiro Jan 29 '19 at 18:28

i did for years. Played with kernel parameters and thats how i realized what was wrong. kernel 4.x causes more aggressive breaking, 3.x looks better.

it happens regardless of actions i take. whatever is plugged in it disconnects randomly from time to time.

edit: sorry it was an answer to talk Above, can someone move it?
