greeting
when browsing some website notice raise in machine fan voice(machine cooling system), other website freeze the machine or shutdown it during overload. even when i try use (ctrl+alt+F1) to reboot from terminal it still freeze. normally i remember those websites and do not enter them again, but today i face same problem again.
1- so is there’s some software or add-ons prevent websites from consumed the machine till freeze it?
2- is there’s some way to enter the terminal mode even when the machine freeze?
note: also ctrl+alt+delete did not work. i wait more than 10 m and ended with hard shutdown(using the power key)
thanks in advance

Hi,
I have no idea about item 1 - but as a last resort to prevent hard shutdown you may try the magic system request keys:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/sysrq.html
As a standard they are disabled unless you have switched them on during install. In YaST you can activate them in “System => Kernel Settings”.

If, the SysReq keys have been enabled –
<Alt+SysRq+r> usually regains control over the keyboard and mouse.
Alternative you can “kill yourself” – <Alt+SysRq+k> – should, usually, kill all the processes on the active console.
But, if you do this, what will probably happen is, you’ll loose your Desktop settings – >:)
The background picture may well be replaced by, nothing …
The desktop folder may well disappear …
You may well have to change the type of Desktop to your preferred value …
