Hi!
My mini PC is experiencing frequent freezes, despite trying various operating systems such as pfSense, ProxMox, and Windows 11. Interestingly, the system worked smoothly with the Windows 11 OS. How can I troubleshoot and resolve issues specifically when running Unix/Linux systems?
Currently, I am actively monitoring the temperature, which remains stable. I'm also keeping an eye on dmesg messages and journalctl. Are there any other parameters or logs I should be monitoring?
The intention is to utilize this machine as a router/firewall, but unfortunately, it has been unable to operate continuously for more than 12 hours without freezing. Notably, updating Proxmox to the latest kernel has improved the situation, although there are still occasional freezes.
Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Carlos Nardi

Guto, Thank you for posting in the Intel® Communities Support.
We will be more than glad to assist you with this matter.
In reference to this scenario, normally, in order to rule out a possible hardware issue with your processor, we recommend to install and run the Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool, since it does an overall test on the unit and if it passes the test it means it is working properly. But this tool will work only with Windows:
Also, the drivers that we have available on our official website were tested and validated for Windows as OS:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html
Just in case, here you will find the "Overheating Symptoms and Troubleshooting for Intel® Boxed Processors" with suggestions to attempt in the case the processor is getting overheated. Even though the details in there are also related to Windows*, still, there are some suggestions that will be useful for this situation:
It is important to mention that the motherboard is actually the one that determines which of the Linux flavors are compatible with your platform. So, we always advise to get in contact directly with the manufacturer of the board to make sure which Operating Systems are fully supported by that component.
So, what we recommend in this case as the best thing to do, based on the fact that there are no problems when using Windows*, will be to get in contact directly with your Linux distros in order to get further technical support and assistance on this matter:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/topics/linux-osv.html
Any questions, please let me know.
Regards,
Albert R.
