    You have a kernel panic.

    If you’re a noobie, figure out why.

    Place to start: What is your kernel doing when it crashes?

    Tip: System logs are your friend.

    Hint: recovery root.

        Paste your log into ChatGPT and ask it for help. I did the same thing last week and it worked.

          This is bad advice tho. Friend of mine did the same and ChatGPT said some bullshit and he locked himself out of gui. Had to help him to get it back. Please dont just copy paste anything from ChatGPT

            I think it even warns you itself. The things it gets right outweigh the things it gets wrong.

    syscall -> asm -> page_fault

    This a native machine code execution that crashed in your system. Could be an instruction that your CPU doesn’t understand (because the instruction is newer than your CPU, example: AVX512), or because your hardware returns an error when this instruction is executed (RAM issues?). Too difficult for me to understand this ASM crash.

      I don’t think it’s some cpu issue because I used arch for sometime on my another laptop which is poorer in terms of hardware and cpu than current one. But again I might be wrong, will try to understand if this happens again.

    Does it say anything above that? Look for the last line written in plain English. That should be what Linux was trying to do before it panicked.

    The OS splits memory into pages and assigns the pages to applications. A page fault usually means one of two things:

    • hardware fault
    • programming error

    You can check your memory with Memtest86. Some LiveCDs come with it. If it’s a programs fault you can only try other software if possible.
