Hello Solus users and maintainers !
At the release of Solus 4.1 I switched to plasma as I was used to it on Debian. However since then, even after a few clean installations, and a new NVME SSD coming in, I get around a dozen crashes per day. I have absolutely no idea what causes them so I have come to find help after searching here and on the subreddit.
Usually my computer just freezes amidst any particular task or even idling, leaving no other option than hard reboot with the power button. However Discord and Firefox are also highly unstable and crash several times per working Solus session.
On a secondary note, I also happen to have crashes before the boot sometimes, where the computer starts but seems to freeze before even reaching bios display (this has probably nothing to do with Solus but if it can be useful, let it be I guess)
Now as of the research I made,
I have the latest version of Solus stable, up to date,
I did a package check that only answered Broken to udisks and adwaita-icon-theme (which I reinstalled, not udisks but the latter).
I ran SMART utility on my NVME that passed without problem,
I ran two Memtest86 tests in a row (I got a few errors at the hammer test, n°13, but only once)
I ransudo dmidecode | grep -B 2 Stat which gave
`Serial Number: To be filled by O.E.M.
Asset Tag: To be filled by O.E.M.
Boot-up State: Safe
Power Supply State: Safe

as an output,
and I ran stress-ng several times on my CPU, which passed without apparent trouble every time.
I also ran last which gives a crapton of crashes as an output, and journalctl but the output is so damn massive that I wouldn't want to post it here as-is.
So here am I, pretty lost on the direction to explore in order to get a sense of what could be wrong. Does it make any sense to any of you ? I highly suspect a hardware failure however I have replaced my PSU with a solid one, my NVME with a samsung EVO (solid too), and my RAM with G-Skill DIMMs optimized for my Ryzen CPU...
If anyone has an idea, I am eager to test new solutions ! I can work my way around in a GNU/Linux system but I am no expert, still I'll do my best to cooperate in an efficient way. Thanks a lot !
EDIT : Sorry I don't know how to format better the dmidecode part, the code tags don't seem to work on it...
