I have been using a company computer running Ubuntu 22.04. There are frequent and unexplained problems, like segmentation faults, stack errors, files disappearing, computer freezing or not booting, or turning off immediately after I turn it on. I don’t know what to do. The IT staff came to my office to check the computer and said “it was all good.” I am not allowed to boot from a USB stick or enter BIOS or open the case. I ran a command line memory check several times with no errors. There is an NVIDIA card, but it’s running X.org and usually headless. I mostly set up tasks via SSH.

What would you do?

    As it’s running Ubuntu you could provide your IT department with the logs from the crashes, so they can see there is a problem.

    If they provided the Ubuntu install it’s their job to support it.

      That’s a good idea. If I can get it to boot today, I will check the logs, thanks!
