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

    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
