OTOH, machines built from commodity parts can vary greatly. Name brand machines are almost always crap, designed for corporate peons to run Word & Excel, and to be 'serviced' by corporate IT drones who generally aren't capable of more than calling the vendor to come and replace the hardware when something goes wrong. This may involve installing a newer version of firmware-linux, firmware-linux-nonfree or other firmware packages - perhaps from a PPA.īTW, what kind of CPU, motherboard, and GPU do you have? What kind of system? Some name brand machine? or built from commodity parts either by yourself or by whoever you bought it from? Search forums for that vendor to see if anyone else is reporting the same problems (and if there are, whether there is a beta BIOS that claims to solve the problem - if so, it's probably worth risking a beta).Ĭheck if there are any updated firmware file for any of your hardware. Some models of some other brands (like Realtek) can be absolute garbage, with crappy drivers.Ĭheck to see if there is an updated BIOS (release version, not beta) for your motherboard. What kind of ethernet controller? Intel NICs are generally good. What kind and rating of PSU do you have? Something decent and good enough for your system's power requirements (plus at least 20% on top of maximum draw)? Or just whatever cheap garbage your system builder could find for the least money? If necessary, repeat with only one stick of RAM at a time, and with different combinations of RAM sticks.

If they don't, try again with the other half of the RAM. If the crashes go away, then you've got bad RAM. Try removing half the RAM for a few days. Clean out any dust, preferably with a brush (artist's paint-brushes are good), a can of compressed air, and a mini vacuum cleaner. Try powering off the system, opening it up and checking that the CPU, cooler, RAM, drives, GPU and any other expansion cards are properly seated. Upgrading to the latest Ubuntu (21.10) might. Reinstalling Ubuntu is very unlikely to make any difference.

If AMD or Intel, use the GPL drivers in the kernel. If your GPU is nvidia, then the proprietary drivers are better. Perhaps Gnome, or something light-weight like xfce or lxde.Ĭheck to see if you have the latest kernel available for Ubuntu 20.04, and the latest drivers for your GPU - even if you have to use a PPA to get an updated kernel or GPU driver. Try a different desktop environment and see if your browser or your login session still crashes. uBlock Origin and uMatrix are also available for Firefox. Use some of uMatrix's downloadable lists to block ad-ware, spyware, and other malware from all sites.

Use uMatrix to disable javascript by default, only allow the bare minimum required to get particular sites working. Both uBlock Origin and uMatrix are by Raymond Hill aka gorhill. Only - beware of forked versions) and uMatrix are good.

Install an ad-blocker and javascript controller in Chromium. Does this still happen in that profile? (make sure not to install any extensions when doing this)ĭisable antivirus/firewall.If you're using Google Chrome (the proprietary binary) rather than Chromium (the open source version), then switch. Setting for this is at brave://settings/systemĬreate a new browser profile. Toggle Use hardware acceleration when available in your browser. (So do a step, test, see if it still happens) Then I have steps for you to try and advise if you notice any changes.

When does this happen? For example, if you open Brave and do nothing, will it close? Are you navigating to certain sites or types of content? IF i have an internet browser(always google chrome) open my game will then random crash while i have both open.Anyway to fix it, Dont you dare saydont have. If you see any crashes listed at brave://crashes (if you do, the Crash ID for them) Info needed: (some of which Steeven has already asked) But otherwise I’m just doing a copy/paste of something I shared with someone else experiencing problems. If you’ve already provided this info or tried steps, then disregard.
