Pcie bus error after a fresh ubuntu install

Question

I installed Ubuntu Budgie 18.04 on a friends new laptop. It was working fine for sometime and then it started giving this pcie bus error.

Error : Pc import:0000e5 pcie bus error:severity corrected,type physical layer,id=00e5(receiver id)

(this keeps on repeating)

laptop:

• Asus x541u
• intel i3 7th gen
• Nvidia geforce 920mx
• 4gb ddr4 ram

things i did:

• dual booted it along side windows 10
• normal installation
• installed software from snapcraft and flathub store
• installed on a partition of size 200gb roughly

• wifi worked fine

  things I did while trying to fix it (didn't work):

• edited /etc/default/grub by adding GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"with

  • pci=nomsi
  • pci=noaer
• updated the graphics drivers to nvidia-driver-390
• reinstalled Ubuntu
• fixing broken packages from ubuntu recovery (it worked only once but started giving the same error from next boot)

I really don't want him to use windows and I have absolutely no idea how to fix this issue.

Answer 1

I resolved the issue trying a former kernel: vmlinuz-4.15.0-43-generic
