Fedora hangs driving me nuts, in Windows it works without problems!

Neither do I, just use them as troubleshooting tool ;)

I track temperature, it is not an issue because fans are clean and
temp doesn't exceed 45°C

My best guess it is an driver issue. System is Sandybridge based, CPU
is i5-2500 and gpu is Intel Sandybridge.
Because screen goes off I'm starting to think that it could be i915
driver fault maybe? Is anybody else having issues like these and has
i915 driver with Sandybridge gpu?
