kernel panic after fresh install
Hello!
device is a UM790 pro
ryzen 9 7940hs
64gb ram
used to be running arch but would screen freeze after a few hours of use.
Decided to bring it back and try bazzite instead. left it online for a few hours and came back to this.
Is there a log or something that I can read though to check how it crashed? is there a logger I can install to do this so I can trace what went wrong?
I'm not discounting that maybe the ram is just bad but would rather find out first before having to buy a second set.

Kernel panics are usually hardware related. If you have any overclocks or undervolts going, set them to stock first. You can check the logs of the previous boot with
journalctl -b -1 -r the -r is for reversed order. There's usually nothing in the logs for kernel panics, but worth to check. You can run a memtest overnight to do a proper test of the memory stability.Kernel panic after fresh install with very similar hardware was resolved with bios settings.. AMD does some funky stuff with their CPU settings, might want to look into this. also make sure your Memory is running at suggested defaults, no overclock stuff, bazzite doesn't like that yet.
