Hello, I’m newbie when it comes to Linux,but I’m delighted with MATE.
It all works fine,but I have a problem, suddenly after some time, whether its 30 minits or 2 hours, system freezes,nothing works. Neither ctrl alt delete, ctrl alt f2, ctrl alt backspace .
I have Asus laptop x551MA.
HI @Kosingas ,
have you done a full system update?:
These are my own setting preferences, use at your own risk!.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE FOR LINUX BEGINNERS. WHEN YOU ARE IN RECOVERY MODE, THE KEYBOARD DEFAULTS TO US ENGLISH, IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER LANGUAGE KEYBOARD OTHER THAN US ENGLISH, WHEN YOU TYPE "Y" (FOR "YES"), IT MIGHT SHOW UP AS A DIFFERENT LETTER, ON MY KEYBOARD I MUST PRESS THE "Z" KEY WHICH EQUATES TO "Y" AS I HAVE A GERMAN KEYBOARD, JUST PRESS "BACKSPACE" AND HIT A DIFFERENT KEY UNTIL YOU SEE THE "Y" SHOW UP!.

Did you follow this advice when creating your bootable media?:
Hi all,
as the title suggests, some and/or many problems with your installation can be avoided by burning the ISO file at the "SLOWEST POSSIBLE SPEED", most if not all burner apps will automatically choose the fastest speed available for your disk burner drive so it is important before you commit to burn a CD/DVD that you select the menu tab which controls the burn speed and select the lowest number on offer.
Your burner drive may well support a burn speed of 20 X for DVD and 60 X for CD's a…
If you have a broken install, try running the following terminal command (Ctrl + Alt + t):
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -f
Oh well,for making a bootable usb I was using “unetbootin” tool.
Anyway I will try with your second advice and will let you know if it’s resolved.

Is your CPU overheating? In Welcome, in the Getting Started section, there is a System Information page. From there you can install psensor that will give your temperature readings.
