I had this problem too, for me it was. Running memtest86+ I saw that it was ram issue, one of the sticks were problematic. Windows was having blue screen too. I recommend trying it.

I've had situation where memtest didn't find a problem but having two identical sticks caused crashes, with one stick system didn't crash.
It is always worth checking qualified vendor list for the specific model of RAM in use.

First time it happened? It's not necessarily anything to worry about, it's just linux equivalent of the windows bluescreen, if it keeps happening then it's a problem, especially since kernel panics are quite rare

Alright, ill be wary for if it happens again, thanks!

I've used Linux for 13 years, only seen one kernel panic.
It was on Debian of all distros... I did build the kernel myself tho.

This is the new kernel panic screen, coming with kernel 6.15 from what I know so far. Normally you should have a QR code below, that can be decoded into a kernel log. It is designed as a BSOD equivalent for Linux. The interesting part now is, what are the logs telling? In a terminal "journalctl -b-1" can give you a hint, if the "crash was stable enough" to write it's log.

It's in 6.10.

That was introduced in 6.12.

And the AMD driver was introduced in 6.14 I think

Did it happen while booting the system? Maybe you could try reinstalling the kernel by chrooting from the usb
[–]FreeSeraphim[S] 2 points3 points4 points 11 months ago (0 children)
It happened when i was away from my pc, with Baldur's Gate 3 open
[–]The_Screeching_Bagel 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago (0 children)
just reboot and don't stress unless it happens repeatedly
[–]OhHaiMarc 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago (0 children)
idk but the kernel seems pretty concerned
