This is a fairly new computer that I bought as personal server, hosting files, databases, local web development, etc. I had no problem with it until several days ago, it suddenly crashed and displayed weird green visual artifacts like the photo below.
I suspect it to be memory, swap, or BIOS problem. I already refresh the BIOS settings, turn off the "overclock" settings in the Gigabyte BIOS, but still it randomly crashes.
Here's my sudo lshw -C memory

I will try to do some memtest
as soon as possible to verify that the memory is good.
UPDATE 1
Memtest (via terminal) displays no error whatsoever. I'll try next by using memtest86+ (after BIOS logo)
