Ubuntu 20 Dell T3610 crashes, is this disk/partition problem?

cn flag
mw00847

Running Ubuntu 20 on Dell T3610 but crashing when PC is working hard. Temperatures look OK.

Having reinstalled Ubuntu a few times am worried that I have an unstable file system?

disk error?

Ubuntu 20.04.02 LTS

the hard work is running molecular dynamics simulations using GROMACS. The crashing is that the PC turns off and reboots itself

This is not however only specific to running simulations. I can be using the terminal for something basic and opening chrome will cause the PC to switch off and restart.

looking at vim syslog I get the below (is there a better way to check for errors?)

Ubuntu 20? No such release, so do you mean Ubuntu Core 20 as the *year* format is used only for *snap* only releases. (the main releases are *year.month* in format, eg. 20.04 or 20.10) You've provided no details as to what you see in logs, whether it's a GUI crash? (ie. terminal or SysRq commands will still work) or kernel crash (not even linux kernel SysRq commands will work, and logs won't show much - ie. likely hardware issue) If you're worried about disk & using a normal (non 20 snap only) release you can check - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools

Can you describe the crash? Is this the system rebooting itself or an application that is crashing. What does "working hard" mean for your computer? Games? Data manipulation? Compiling code? Mining Bitcoin? Help us help you by supplying as much detail as you can

There is nothing to suggest a disk error in the picture you have posted.

Edit your question and show me screenshot(s) of the `Disks` app **SMART Data** window (this data is scrollable, so it may take 2 screenshots). Also show me `free -h` and `sysctl vm.swappiness`. Start comments to me with @heynnema or I'll miss them.

You should really add this information to your question. An answer will discourage people from taking the time to read the question. Also please format the syslog log as code. It will be much easier to read

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
