Hey, guys my dad's computer - that has been running Zorin 16.2 Core for a while now, and before that Z15 for close to a year - just started spitting out this when booting up.
What could be causing this? My dad is able to boot into live environments from USB sticks and all 32 GB of RAM are detected. What could be causing this?
Haven't gotten to visit him and try to take a look at it myself yet, but he says he hasn't touched the hardware, tried to install another OS, or anything as such.
The only thing that caught my eye is that the RAM may be running at 1333 MHz instead of 2666 MHz. Is that what the box on the left is saying? And could that be causing this issue?
And I will check the bios for the frequency. Plus I am sure it can be updated as it is a gaming one I believe. I am sure it was never updated, as my dad has no clue how to do it. The only reason he got that one is bc he needed one in a hurry and during the pandemic shortage, that is what was available.
Thank you, I will update here after I run that test.
I ran it for the HDD, the image is the result. Should I have run another one instead?
And what test should I run for the SSD?
And an update on the problem: it is an intermittent thing. My dad was able to turn on the computer and it worked perfectly fine, then sometimes when powering it on the issue happens again. He has been keeping it on for now.
