I have recently installed UBUNTU 24.04 LTS on my old laptop hp Pavilion tx1000 (Spec: AMD Turion™ 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-56 × 2, RAM 4 GB, Graphic NV4E, SSD 120 GB). The laptop has stopped responding while using it several times, all of a sudden. Sometimes everything just freezes and no key works and mouse pointer doesn't move, and sometimes the screen turns black and never turns back on. I guessed it may be related to touchpad or Firefox, and I stopped using both of them but the problem didn't stopped. Also I tried to monitor the resources by System Monitor, Most of the time neither the CPU is fully occupied, nor the RAM. I had a 14.04LTS on this laptop several years ago and cannot remember such a problem with that; and before this OS, windows 10 was installed and worked well.

I had this issue with Ubuntu 24.04 as well. I did NOT have this issue with Ubuntu 23.10. After doing several things such as reinstalling Gnome Desktop, installing the NVIDIA driver from their website, and switching to the Nouveau NVIDIA driver, none of which fixed the issue, I discovered it was an incompatibility with Wayland and the NVIDIA driver. Switching to X11 solved the problem.
To switch to X11 from Wayland:
- Open /etc/gdm3/custom.conf as root
- Uncomment the line #WaylandEnable=false by removing the #
- Save the file
- Reboot
