So I have been getting green screen of death on this new computer build of mine. This new computer is the first time I have run linux as I am NOT paying Microsoft any more of my money. The green screens started happening immediately I had originally thought it was due to old drivers at first but I updated every last thing I could find and it is still happening. AI told me that it could be a corrupted file system and suggested a command but it did not seem to do anything and I do not know why. Please help with this and any other suggestions on why I may be greenscreening. It is very intermittent, if I am online for 17 hours it will happen once or twice. Anyway, here is the command the AI gave me and its results...
fsck / btrfs --check --repair
fsck from util-linux 2.40.4
If you wish to check the consistency of a BTRFS filesystem or
repair a damaged filesystem, see btrfs(8) subcommand 'check'.
Probably a super newb question but I am a super newb here in Linux lol
Off the top of my head, I think sudo journalctl -xeb -1 should give you some useful error output for the previous boot (after rebooting from a failure).
There's a --list-boots option if you've rebooted a couple times since but aren't entirely sure.
OP, do this - it's the best way to figure out what's happening. It could be any number of issues, e.g. faulty RAM. With the output of the command above people can tell you what to test for.
Hm, unfortunately nothing obvious. And your last boot ended with a crash?
Nevertheless you could try running a Memtest (this can take a while) - it will check whether any of your RAM modules are faulty: https://www.memtest.org/
Do you have DOCP/XMP/Expo (whichever your board may call it) turned on? If so, you might want to try turning it off and see if the crashes stop (or at least get reduced). RAM could be fine but just not stable, which a BIOS update might help. Also might help in the event that your board is one of those that have had issues recently with the X3D CPUs. There is always a chance that the GPU might be faulty. Which I don't know how to best test for that short of just trying an old one (or a friend's if they have their old one).
Alright so it finally happened again, here is the output of that command:
sudo journalctl -xeb -1
