    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.

    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.
