system crash during normal use

[nedry]

I am using FreeBSD 13 but today during normal the whole system crashed unfortunately i could not get a screen dump of the crash.

Depending on your setup you may have crashdump saved. Check the contents of the /var/crash. Is there something (a bit vague question but I think it fits the scenario here) ?
You are able to see the reason of the crash from the dmesg output, at least for a while. Execute dmesg|less and search for the KDB: stack backtrace string.

the whole system

Can you tell more about the system? Hardware, desktop environment and so on. Thanks.

UFS or ZFS?

Upgraded, or was it a fresh installation? If upgraded: from which version, and which method did you follow?

Fresh install was compiling llvm10 from the ports tree. Next time it crashes I will try and get a screenshot.
