24-core CPU and I can’t move my mouse
I have a new Ryzen 7 CPU (you know, 8 cores, 16 threads), with 64GB RAM and for HDD a Samsung 960 PRO M.2 drive.<p>But when I went and plugged in an external Seagate 4TB drive, and tried to "dd zero" the s#it out of it, my whole system became unresponsive after a while, obviously I had to reset the machine as it wouldn't "kill -9" the process that made the system unresponsive.<p>Trying to type was a no go as keys would sometimes become "stuck". Moving the mouse around was an exercise in predictability too.<p>All this happened in the latest Ubuntu 17.04 64bit... #sadstory
