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

X870 RX9070 XT Ryzen 9800X3D

Thanks in advance

Solid green screen across the whole thing. The speaker starts humming the mouse and keyboard do not do anything and it does not resolve on its own (not within five minutes or so anyway). I have to do a hard reboot, then it works fine for the next 7-14 hours and then it happens again. Does not matter what I am doing. I have had it go green when I was reading plain text and not even touching the inputs.

    Is the sound coming from the motherboard speaker or through a sound card or display?

    From the MB to the external box speaker on the desk.

    So I was wrong, sound was wired through the display via HDMI to the MB. I switched the speaker over to the MB directly and plugged the monitor into the GFX card instead of the MB, see if this changes anything.

    Your monitor always needs to be plugged into the graphics card. If you plug it in via the motherboard, then your GPU is doing nothing, as it can't backfeed to that motherboard connector. CPUs often have their own graphics built-in, and that's what yours would have been using instead.

    This sounds to me like a hard drive/ file system issue. Don’t know how to fix it but if the mouse cursor doesn’t move, it’s usually a storage device issue
