Small download. Small distro. I have used it before for unknown issues with hardware that is low spec.
If still freezing. Then not sure what to tell you.

Putting aside the abnormally high temperature for the moment.

I have noticed plenty of occasions when antiX-15 appears to be frozen when in fact the system is just busy. It can remain in this state for a period of minutes before control is returned to normal. It seems to be caused by system level tasks rather than a user initiated task. During the busy period, antiX seems to be occupied in moving files around.

Indicative symptoms
  • Htop shows CPU usage at 100%
  • Htop shows Load average rising above 1.00
  • The system LED indicating disk activity is active
If the system is in a busy condition the period it spends in that state might be affected by various things e.g.
  • The extent of the work it is trying to complete
  • The speed at which your system is able to move files around
  • The number of tasks competing for system resources

I really liked antix. Slitaz is nice but not noob friendly, i cant even get the wifi to work.

Nope, theres no high cpu usage and it never unfreezes.

Thank you all for your help. Guess i will have to return to ugly XP.
