Are you sure it's signal 12? This is "illegal system call" which usually means you have accidentally upgraded your userland to 5.0-CURRENT. If you actually meant signal 11, this is likely to be failing hardware (RAM, CPU cooling, etc) and you should read the FAQ entry on this subject. > Is there anyway to make perhaps run slower, because im told its when a > lot of write activity is going on the hdd. This is unlikely either way. If you have failing hardware you need to identify and replace it, because it's not going to get better, and it will continue to cause you lots of problems.
