So I have been getting green screen of death on this new computer build of mine. This new computer is the first time I have run linux as I am NOT paying Microsoft any more of my money. The green screens started happening immediately I had originally thought it was due to old drivers at first but I updated every last thing I could find and it is still happening. AI told me that it could be a corrupted file system and suggested a command but it did not seem to do anything and I do not know why. Please help with this and any other suggestions on why I may be greenscreening. It is very intermittent, if I am online for 17 hours it will happen once or twice. Anyway, here is the command the AI gave me and its results…
fsck / btrfs --check --repair fsck from util-linux 2.40.4 If you wish to check the consistency of a BTRFS filesystem or repair a damaged filesystem, see btrfs(8) subcommand ‘check’.
Probably a super newb question but I am a super newb here in Linux lol

Thanks in advance
Tell us more about what’s happening, is the whole monitor turning green or just parts of it?
Does it stay green until you do something, or does it go away on its own?
Does it happen only with certain games or applications, or does it happen regardless of what’s running?
And please for the love of fuck do not run any commands you don’t personally understand, especially if it came from an “ai”. Don’t poison your brain (and the planet) with “ai” bullshit, please!
Run a LiveUSB of anything else. If it works, install that instead.
Stop listening to AI.
If ai gives you something to try it’s better than nothing. But I was going to suggest another distro if someone else hadn’t. Thanks ai…
Doing nothing is way better than running random commands suggested by AI, or anyone for that matter, if you don’t know what it does. I’ve seen AI suggest to run
rm -rf ~/, which is obviously never a good idea.I should have phrased that better. I agree copy and pasting commands off of the internet is a terrible idea. Be they from ai or from a forum or wiki. By ‘try’ I meant look into. As in explore that path. To you and I ‘try’ means something different than a new user. I will be more careful in the future
