  • It does seem like a hardware issue to me too…

    It might be a driver issue… Windows does have the resources to test them more than Linux community, so - kinda hardware related - but Framework should be able to help here.

    And as others have said, try memtest, I did on a laptop with similar issues to yours and found the RAM was the culprit. Personally, I recommend using this version, not the passmark version: https://memtest.org/

    It’ll boot from a USB stick

    It will take hours.

    For Linux use ‘sudo journalctl -xe’ (from memory) - it’ll explain the issues it finds, as best it can. You’ll probably see something in there

    If you’re dual booting with Windows open the event log viewer and check under System (from memory) and see if there’s any red X warning logs… esp. Hardware ones.
















  • Yep, hence my comment…

    You should see the fear on people’s faces when I suggest they restore a backup - esp. on Production.

    My advice (to combat their fear) is to take an offline backup that has some kind of checksum and then immediately restore it.

    That gets them past the initial fear and then we progress onto other backup strategies… if needed.
