Caps Lock blinking and freeze on my new laptop

[merlin]

Hi, I have a problem about Linux Lite. Now, I wanna tell about my new laptop.
I'd success to installed Linux Lite on my new laptop, that's no error when I tried Live CD or beginning installation.
When I want to use my laptop, a few minutes it's no problem.
But after I am using that for browsing the internet, listening a music, and write my project, my laptop is freeze and caps lock blinking.
So, I am push a power button to turn off it.
That's no once can happen, every I am using my laptop.
Can anyone give me a solution how to fix my problem?

Thanks

What brand of laptop, and what is the blink pattern?

Hello!

A quick check online states that the caps lock key blinks during a 'kernel panic'.

What's a 'kernel panic', you say? (That's OK. So did I.)

"A kernel panic (sometimes abbreviated as KP) is an action taken by an operating system upon detecting an internal fatal error from which it cannot safely recover."

Assuming it didn't do this prior to your LL installation, I would have to guess there's an issue with the ISO you downloaded. After you downloaded the ISO, did you run an MD5SUM check to make sure it downloaded without errors?

Once you answer that question, we can go from there...

Hi merlin,

I'd do some hardware checks:

• run a RAM test
  
• check your fan
  

Hope that helps

Yesterday I'm using Linux Lite 3.0 64-bit version and kernel panic still abuse me.
Alright, today I'm installed Linux Lite 3.0 32-bit on my laptop.
The result is no kernel panic, no capslock blinking, and freeze desktop.
Wow, my laptop Intel x64-bit based and can using Linux Lite 3.0 32-bit version.
Hmm, I little confuse about that but my problem is solved.
Thanks to advice

OK, no hardware problem then it seems. So you might be facing a kernel problem. Which kernel to use best for your machine I leave for the guys to recommend who've got more experience

Usually you can run a 32bit system on a 64bit machine. But you might not be able to utilize your hardware to the full capacity.

Wish you a good Linux Lite experience after the bumpy start

If you ever want to try 64 bit again, I would attend to basic maintenance, such as making sure the vents are clear by using compressed air, possibly resetting the CPU thermal paste, and cleaning and resetting the RAM.
