Everybody goes into hw as first question Keruskerfuerst ask was about hw info.
On another note i would say it's always Keruskerfuerst's first question everywhere, like he wants to know anyone hw

wtf? what should i to investigate? |
I would investigate first software, you seems to says it appears when you switch to 4.3 but was working fine prior 4.3.
If gcc-5.3 cannot do a <4.3 kernel, just use an older gcc (is that so hard to do, really?)
You can also just use a livecd with a >=4.3 kernel from any distro and see if your system freeze with it, allowing you to answer: "not hw problem", "not a 4.3 kernel problem", and shortening the problem to "kernel setting problem".
If your system keep freezing with livecd, go with a <4.3 livecd to shorten the problem to a kernel version (might be a regression)
So: if i were you i would dig what i have change in my kernel from 4.2 to 4.3 that lead to my computer freezing crazy. |

@krinn, I see no point in using LiveCd as I won't use them properly.
Yep, before 4.3 i got no such problems.
I don't wanna go back to gcc-4.9
Using 4.4-rc6, no freeze so far.
Tested with mprime for 1.5 hour, no errors too.
Tomorrow test with mprime longer. |

krinn,
I think its a system problem. Operational safety margins have been eroded here, there and everywhere and the system has producing errors every now and again. I would expect taking any steps to improve the safety margins to correlate with an improved error rate.
Correlate does not mean that the change is the root cause. That will probably never be known.

| If the computer freezes from time to time, the problem can not be found easily. |

| Guys, I think I've found the reason and resolved it. The problem was in F2FS for root, it'd been corrupted atfter several blackout. I thought that it's safe to use it for root, but it's not. Now root is on EXT4. |
