I would love help to further troubleshoot this. (ubuntu 20.04, nvdia 2070S)

Processor: Intel i9-9900K (16) @ 5.000GHz

I experience crashes from various programs when doing even light multitasking. It looks different for each program, but for instance chrome tabs start to crash with a sigsegv error, discord suddenly restarts, etc.

I have been able to recreate this issue on a fresh install of popOS

However I haven't been able to replicate this issue in a windows installation on a different drive

I have reinstalled ubuntu several times already. Can anyone give me advice here?

memtest

Go to https://www.memtest86.com/ and download/run their free memtest to test your memory. Get at least one complete pass of all the 4/4 tests to confirm good memory. This may take a few hours to complete.

BIOS

Processor: Intel i9-9900K (16) @ 5.000GHz

Do sudo dmidecode -s bios-version and tell me the EXACT make/model # of your computer or motherboard.

Software Updates

Because I see "138 not upgraded" it looks like you're very behind in running Software Updater and keeping your system optimized.

Update #1:

memtest failed.

Will check the BIOS.

  • It was a bad RAM test! Not what I expected since I couldn't replicate these issues on Windows. Thank you very much

  • @Kadence Did you check your BIOS version? If it needs an update, we'll want to run memtest again after the update.
