I'll try it and see if there's anything wrong there, though I don't expect it since windows works fine. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Die4Ever 1 point 8 months ago* I found this grub option https://askubuntu.com/a/1227581 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash memtest=4" not sure if it helps, it's not as thorough as Memtest86+ permalink fedilink source parent [–] Die4Ever 1 point 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) I'm having similar issues, didn't have many crashes in Windows.

EDIT: I found this grub option, gonna try this https://askubuntu.com/a/1227581 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash memtest=4" permalink fedilink source parent
