Subject: Re: computer slow
well, then run both stress AND glmark2 for like 20 minutes.

If that doesn't crash it, look for some other graphical programs like an
openGL game. There should be a package to install Nexuiz/Xonotic

That'll give you an excuse to play videogames for a bit.

If ONLY darktable makes your computer crash, then maybe it really does have
something to do with darktable and your GPU and openCL, etc
