Re: System hangs every time.

Welcome to Arch Linux.

Maybe you should tell us whether you are running a server or a desktop
Are you running Xorg
What window manger / desktop environment are you using?
What are those 700 processes? Post them to a pastebin like place using wgetpaste and give us the link
What is the output of systemd-analyze critical-chain
what is the output of free

Re: System hangs every time.

I dont knw if this fixed the problem, But i uninstalled mozilla firefox and replaced it with chromium. I also added a swap partition of 4GB. System seems kindda smooth now.
