My desktop is running Ubuntu 20.04. I've been noticing a lot of odd behavior over the last few months (at least) and I'm trying to figure out how to troubleshoot it.
The system has 32 GB of ram, AMD Ryzen 5900X CPU, MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk MD, and a couple SSDs attached.
The symptoms are:
- Browser tabs crash all the time. Every 15 minutes or so, one of my open tabs (of which I typically have ~20-30) will crash (with "Aw Snap!" in Chrome, and similar messages in Firefox and Chromium).
- Slack will crash intermittently. About 1-2 times per day it just hangs for about a minute and then dies.
- My virtual machines will corrupt. I typically have 1-3 open at a time, and about once a month, my VM will start complaining about having a read only file system. I'll reboot and it boots into initramfs, and running fsck across the disk typically fixes it.
My gut is that I could have some failing RAM, but I don't know how to troubleshoot that. Are there logs I could look at that would help figure out why Chrome is crashing all the time?
Thanks in advance!
