I'm on 6.12.13 upgraded from 6.11.2-amd64. I did actually boot the old kernel yesterday but I think I was distracted and now can't remember if it ended up crashing or not.

I've booted into 6.11.2 typing this, I will try stressing it a bit and see what happens.

When it locks up, before caps lock starts flashing, it does show solid drive activity for many seconds, so it's writing something somewhere.

Regards,
Henrik
