Systemback

System crash while making live backup

Asked by Mr.Green

Good day. I have some problem and been days and don't find any actual working fix for this. I've installed Ubuntu 16.04.1 x64 and updated the system. Then added the repo for systemback and did an update, installed systemback and rebooted.
Opening systemback I choose to create live then follow the steps an it goes to about 6-7% of step 2/3 then my system completely shuts off without any warning. Can you help me get this working or figure out what the cause might be for the shout down. Please and thank you. I have an AMD Athlon x64 Dual core processor 5000+ X2
Nvidia graphics 512mb
1TB hdd
3GB RAM
And have a swap area of 10GB.
Any help will do.

The Live creation process is very CPU-intensive task. I think your hardware is going to hot and shutting down because the self-protection mechanism.

Thank you for the reply. I thought that it might be the problem. Even Pinguybuilder do this. Any way I can fix this or any other way I can create a iso img of my current installation? or how can I reduce the cpu usage for this kind of thing?
And Thank You.

I think just check the CPU, use a good thermal paste and a better cooler.

Ok. Thanks. Which paste would you recommend and what do you mean by "better cooler"
This problem started when I had windows running on a separate hdd. Gaming a game with low requirements it still went out after like 5-10min. Then I did a clean install of Xenial Xerus 16.04.1 on a spare 1TB hdd. all was well until I build my first project with Android Studio 2.1.3. What a mess. Feels like I can't get anything to work or work out.

I'm just guessing because the symptoms, but may be something else causing the problem.
Any thermal paste is good (if you are careful and using well), but the better (and commonly used) is the Arctic Cooling MX-4.
In general, the CPU cooler systems consist of a heat sink and a fan. For example, this:

is a good efficiency cooler.

I've cleaned the complete inside of the tower. After it started to just shutt down. But still same. So now I have something to go with by replacing the paste and maybe get a more sufficient cooler as you mentioned. Thanks for the advice mate.
