Just a thought, but I would do a «memtest» to see if the RAM is alright also.

Hello,
It looks like X11 is having problems with your hardware. As you have managed to start up an X session using startx, try logging on via a tty and see if there is an .xsession-errors file in your home directory. The contents of this file may give you a clue as to what has gone wrong.

Well then it can't be a display manager issue, can it?

Boot to a console and try startx from there to eliminate the DM as a source of this issue.

Have you checked your drive & memory health?

What are your sources?

apt policy

Check the syslog for any clues.

Have you read the Release Notes? Plenty of tips in there that might help you sort this. Those notes are for ascii. I guessed because you didn't specify which release you were on.

Hello people,

I have a issue with display manager in general, doesn't matter which one. They all freeze, maybe one time out of five.

I tried slim, sddm and lightDM, the problem is the same.

When it happen, If I open an other TTY and then "startx", my session open and freeze as well.

Which information should I give you if I want help?

Thank you.
