Random system block. What program should I use to find the problem?

ziltoid · 2021-09-23 19:40:55

Hello everyone.

Recently my system started to exhibit strange random blocks and to recover the machine I'm forced to press the reset button. For example, I'm watching a stream on twitch and suddenly the video output becomes black, the audio dies and the pc is unusable until resetted. I suspect the problem could be the values I used to undervolt my gpu with corectrl, but the problem is so rare I can't be sure about it.

Without this issue the system is perfect and I can use it for anything (watch videos/streams, play games on lutris and so on). I tried inspecting the boot log with

journalctl -b -1

but I don't know what to search inside this wall of text

What do you suggest to solve this issue? Thanks in advance for your help.

My system:

The journal would be the first thing to check. Please post it on a file sharing site and link to it so others here can see what's happening.

The previous log was the integral output of the boot so maybe it was a bit to much information. Because the system blocks continue to happen I link here the filtered output of one of the recent logs:
