    Kali linux freeze when open some apps

    hi ,
    i'm running kali linux(AMD64) in live mode on my desktop, and it goes well but when i try to open some apps it freeze completly and i have to reboot by pressing the power button, it does that with iceweasel and other times just for no reason ...

    so far the only time i got something was when i let it running reaver for a while and when i came i found a black screen with some lines of hexadecimal codes, i wasn't able to copy all of them but it was a line in the top saying : "general protection fault", i searched and i found that it means the OS(or app) try to get some private instruction on CPU... :S
    and i noticed that when i'm booting i get this line : "microcode: AMD CPU family 0xf not supported" i readed that linux can apply some patch for problems like that but i don't know how (even if it's possible )

    i want to install kali permanently on my computer but first i have to solve that , so here is the /proc/cpuinfo file :

    How much RAM in the computer? What Desktop Environment are you using? You might want to try "Kali Light", which uses XFCE4 instead of Gnome...
    Want to learn to use the Kali Linux operating system? Check out the free Kali book and course at https://kali.training
