I am at my wit's end. Lets start with my computer's hardware.
- CPU: Ryzen 3500X
- GPU: Nvidia GTX1660 Super
- Motherboard: Asus b550m tuf plus gaming wifi
- RAM: 2x 8GB Corsair Vengence
- 1 SSD and 1 HDD for Windows
I am trying to install Ubuntu onto my desktop in a brand new SSD. However, after installation, it seems that Ubuntu would unexpectedly freeze. Everytime it freezes, I end up in a state where no emergency command works and I would need to force shutdown my desktop.
I have managed to update all ubuntu drivers and used Nvidia graphics drivers (before the freeze happens). I have also tried to remove my storage drivers for windows. But the results are still the same and the PC inevitably freezes, even when I am using the "try out Ubuntu" from my boot media. Somehow, my old laptop bought 6 years ago runs the same installation media perfectly fine.
I noticed that the freeze happens when I try to run something. Like opening Firefox to browse youtube or even sometimes during a system update. There is no error log generated each time this happens. So I have no idea what is happening internally. Would appreciate any help before I can get!
Edit: Things I have tried to do are
- Installed and switched to Linux kernel 5.15.29
- Change kernel boot parameters using "rcu_noobs=0-11 processor.max_cstate=5"
- Change bios PSU Idle control to "typical current idle"
- Update all packages and drivers, including GPU drivers
- Installed Ubuntu 21.10 with and without 3rd party drivers Still, none of these have worked so far...
