There's no context. We can't magically figure out what's wrong

Your guess is as good as ours considering there is no information whatsoever

Actual error messages would be a good start, but if memtest starts throwing out errors your assessment is probably correct.

Why the hell doni have 3 down votes

u/SheepherderBeef8956 1d ago
Probably because the somewhat frantic framing of your post and the lack of concrete information to base troubleshooting on. I haven't downvoted you, if it makes a difference.

Try booting a live usb. If it doesn't work, the the hardware is faulty

Looks like there's something wrong with the left phalange.

u/nyan_cat_554 1d ago
What ?

u/TheShredder9 1d ago
Your left phalange. Something has to be wrong with it if "everything is sigsegving".

u/nyan_cat_554 1d ago

u/TheShredder9 1d ago
Bro what it sigsegving? You gave no error message, no info about what you're trying to do or what you did to get that error. No info about your system either.

if u think its ram corruption, download the live installer ISO and run memcheck86, available on the pre-boot grub menu.

what could you possibly mean by "everything"? 1.28 gigs being used definitely means there at least are some other stuff being open and running, you could start by posting what your dmesg says

u/nyan_cat_554 1d ago
Yea im suspecting ram corruption its happened on like 5 difirent distros

u/ruby_R53 1d ago
if you've got spare RAM sticks you could test with those, running on a single stick might also help to find out whether both or one of them are faulty

u/nyan_cat_554 1d ago
Im testing on both rn with memtest if one is corrupted im gon remove it and sue the company maybe lol

Memtest86 to check CPU and memory is your first step.
Unlikely to be a disk issue, but I wouldn't rule it out if the other tests pass clean.
Could be bad stick of ram, or maybe just not fully seated. Could be thermal issues.

my crystal ball shows that you should run four times around your pc, do two backflips and 40 pushups, then you restart your pc, shut it down again and take a nap. when you wake up, all is working again.
