Constant crashes

[Arbalester]

My system started to crashing randomly and I can’t figure out why. I’ve been using it for years and it hasn’t been a problem. For fix it (or finding a reason). I’ve tried a clean reinstall. Bios upgrade. Memtest86+. The crash looks like the computer gets all stuck and the sound loops for about one second. Can anyone think of any way to find out what the problem is?

Have you tried testing your system on a live system to see if the crashing continues?
It would be helpful to know if this is a hardware or software problem.

Does the system crash only when it’s under heavy load? Or only when specific applications are open?

Are there any obvious problems in the logs?
ksystemlog is a log viewer that allows filtering by priority.

or you can use:
sudo journalctl -k -b 1 -p 4
which shows kernel logs, from 1 boot ago, at minimum priority 4.

The system crashes both under heavy load and in idle state. It’s not just in a certain application. I’ll check the logs. Sometimes they run for hours and nothing. Sometimes it fails a few minutes after starting. I haven’t found a cause the crash.

[Arbalester]

After a long search I found that this problem happens when I use wayland. I switched back to xorg and the problem disappeared. Now the system is stable.
