  • Both Tyler, our paid test solver, and Kelsey, my wife, our unpaid test solver, read PUTTING as PUTTING and not PUTTING. Odds are you did too. Just remember: PUTTING can be pronounced PUTTING or PUTTING.

  • Thanks for the help. If it's the hardware then it's the hardware. I will try a few more things like booting from the drive in a different PC, but I may have to spend some money.

  • Checked the logs in Windows, you're right! A corrected hardware error has occurred from PCI Express Root Port. I reseated the drive with no change.

    I should mention that this laptop has always had issues with what I assumed to be thermal throttling. It would play games fine for 10-15 minutes before becoming a slideshow. I eventually stopped trying.

    I have set that option and I am currently downloading a GPU benchmark. Is that an appropriate test? What should I be looking for in dmesg?

  • Installed Linux Mint on my old personal laptop (Dell XPS 9560) and unfortunately ran into some issues that made me switch back to Windows. I really want to make it work

    It seems to have revealed either a hardware bug or failing hardware in the NVMe drive.

    First problem was log spam that filled up the partition:

    Some forum posts I found (example) suggested that this was a hardware bug and I could set pcie_aspm=off in grub to work around it. This stopped the log spam and everything seemed to be working fine.

    Later while I was doing some programming, everything froze for a while. When it came back, the partition was set to readonly. It wouldn't boot on restart and loaded up busybox instead. I was able to set it to writable, but it happened again soon after.

    I decided to switch back to Windows where there doesn't seem to be any issues.

    I really want to make it work. If it's failing hardware then I have no choice but to replace the drive, but if it's just a bug then I want to find a fix without buying new hardware. That would kind of defeat the point for me and I don't want to spend the money.

    I would appreciate any help. I booted into Mint again to grab the logs and I really want to keep using it.
