    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.

    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.

    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.

          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
