  • Just had a similar issue a few days ago, where my system would freeze and spent 2 days trying to solve it. Ran a memory test, no issues. Tried NVIDIA drivers 470,535 and 550 with different combinations of the kernel including 6.x and 5.x (make sure you’re using generic). Issue was still there, grabbed a copy of windows and tried it there, same issue. That narrowed it down to a hardware issue. Started tweaking the bios and found the problem was a pcie gen issue, my motherboard was automatically setting it to 5 which was causing the crash I set it to 3, no more problems. You could use the same techniques to narrow down your problem as well. (Nothing was ever reported in any logs since it was a hard freeze, which made this a huge pain in the ass to fix)



  • The problem with this logic is the manufactures have no control over the iPhone update. The article didn’t go into exactly what happened, but it could have been that the device worked fine at launch, but then Apple released an update which caused an issue in the app. Even if it didn’t happen this way I could definitely see it happening. Using an app for critical life sustaining medical devices is like playing Russian Roulette, an update from Google or Apple can put you in the hospital, or worse.
