I am pretty sure I pissed of some eldritch deity because I have been chasing this laggy feeling I had with my pc for 2 months.

But in the past few days my desktop was getting very slow during installationand general use. At the same time my HDD activity indicator would be on all the time. Turning off the pc would shut it down and a few seconds later restart.

So I switched out Fedora for Pop OS and everything went fine for half a day and the problemen came back again.

When turning off the pc, right now, I got what you see in the picture.

So I would like to ask do I need to hire an exorcist or is hardware borked in someway?

Any help would be greatly appreciatie, so I would like to thank anyone even willing to look at my post.

EDIT: Well for anyone still interested, apparently it was something in the 6.5 series kernals that made my pc behave weird because with 6.6 kernal all of the problems vanished. I want to thank everyone again for all the suggestion and help diagnosing my problem.

    The exact same thing kept happening with Pop OS on my Thinkpad P50.

    Install and reboot go fine, run the first apt upgrade and it nukes everything, leading to this error.

    Wish I could be of help but I abandoned Pop OS and just installed Debian with the proprietary Nvidia drivers.

      Thank you for your response, I doubt my case can be solved by plain Debian since the same problemen happend under Fedora and Pop OS. The only difference was that I got this error message with Pop OS.

      Thank you for your time, yes I have updated my Z97-DS3H to the F7 uefi/bios. The last one that was ever released.

    I used Gsmartcontrol to do a smart test but both my storage devices got through them with no errors, but I can’t get Seatools or Memtest to work on an bootable usb so I am kind of limited in what I can test right now.

      Thank you for your response. I don’t think it is heat. The systeme in total is at 29°c and my cpu, under stress test, highest recordeded temp is 83°c (not great but it shouldn’t destroy the cpu). I will try reseating my sata cables and ram.
