I have been using a company computer running Ubuntu 22.04. There are frequent and unexplained problems, like segmentation faults, stack errors, files disappearing, computer freezing or not booting, or turning off immediately after I turn it on. I don’t know what to do. The IT staff came to my office to check the computer and said “it was all good.” I am not allowed to boot from a USB stick or enter BIOS or open the case. I ran a command line memory check several times with no errors. There is an NVIDIA card, but it’s running X.org and usually headless. I mostly set up tasks via SSH.

What would you do?

    I’ve been running Linux on Nvidia graphics for 24 years. It’s never been an issue.

        Most machines I owned that had kernel panics had either an NVIDIA or an AMD GPU graphics adapter, along with bad memory.

          There’s intel as well. Probably a few other small players. Is Matrox still around?
