October 25, 20169 yr I have a 6.2 install which I am booting from a 8GB USB key which has 8 attached drives. The system has 12 GB of RAM. The system has been repeatedly crashing, and I am unable to figure out why. I have not been able to find anything in the logs. Frequently on reboot the system boots to a page with gibberish on the console screen instead of the usual text. I ran memtest for 24 hours which found no problems. Any suggestions on further troubleshooting? It seems as if it might be a hardware problem, but I have not been able to figure out what it could be.
October 25, 20169 yr Frequently on reboot the system boots to a page with gibberish on the console screen instead of the usual text. I ran memtest for 24 hours which found no problems. Memtest doesn't catch all memory errors. Corrupted screen really sounds like RAM to me, try pulling the odd DIMM(s) out and see if it improves. 12GB of RAM indicates you have more than 2 sticks installed, so run with ONLY 2 sticks for a period of time.
October 25, 20169 yr Please provide more info so we can help diagnose. Please provide an image of the "gibberish" output to the console along with your system diagnostics.
October 25, 20169 yr Author I will try and get the diagnostics. I just booted windows 10 on the same hardware and have run a program called burnin test and it seems to run fine. I will try running with 8 GB for a while and see what happens. I will try and take a photo of the gibberish, next time I see it. How do I best get system diagnostics? Thanks for your help!
