Well my ISP dillegently itemizes every single state local and federal tax they pay as an additional “fee” on my monthly bill. Therefore, I should see that the federal item drop off my bill, right? Right?

To build on this, it would help to install some sort of system monitoring to check temps, fanspeed, system usage and have those constantly going so OP can check for any red flags during a freeze.

Idk about that. In my case I believe my CPU was defective from the start and I lived with it because I always assumed it was my OS in some way.

If your CPU has seven years of not randomly freezing and its just doing that now then I wouldn’t suspect the CPU.

However, unless you find some clues from journalctl -xeb1 or dmesg I would assume its faulty hardware somewhere.

Last time for me it was a bad CPU. Lived with it until I upgraded my CPU and recycled the old one into a new build. Then that one was having the same issue.
