I am at my wit's end. Lets start with my computer's hardware.

1. CPU: Ryzen 3500X


2. GPU: Nvidia GTX1660 Super


3. Motherboard: Asus b550m tuf plus gaming wifi


4. RAM: 2x 8GB Corsair Vengence


5. 1 SSD and 1 HDD for Windows

I am trying to install Ubuntu onto my desktop in a brand new SSD. However, after installation, it seems that Ubuntu would unexpectedly freeze. Everytime it freezes, I end up in a state where no emergency command works and I would need to force shutdown my desktop.

I have managed to update all ubuntu drivers and used Nvidia graphics drivers (before the freeze happens). I have also tried to remove my storage drivers for windows. But the results are still the same and the PC inevitably freezes, even when I am using the "try out Ubuntu" from my boot media. Somehow, my old laptop bought 6 years ago runs the same installation media perfectly fine.

I noticed that the freeze happens when I try to run something. Like opening Firefox to browse youtube or even sometimes during a system update. There is no error log generated each time this happens. So I have no idea what is happening internally. Would appreciate any help before I can get!

Edit: Things I have tried to do are

1. Installed and switched to Linux kernel 5.15.29


2. Change kernel boot parameters using "rcu_noobs=0-11 processor.max_cstate=5"


3. Change bios PSU Idle control to "typical current idle"


4. Update all packages and drivers, including GPU drivers


5. Installed Ubuntu 21.10 with and without 3rd party drivers
   Still, none of these have worked so far...
