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

Thanks in advance
What do you mean by “green screen of death”? Is there any text or something you can transcribe or screenshot for us?
No text or screen shot possible, screen is just solid green mouse and keyboard do nothing. Have to do a hard reboot.
Ah. If this is a new build that suggests a hardware issue. Can you try running with only one stick of RAM and/or xmp disabled to see if that fixes things?
Yeah I was going to try messing with hardware next to see if it helps but I want to try all the software based stuff first, I hate fiddling with the hardware. I am just about there though, lol. Not much left software wise I don’t think
