Trying to install mint on my PC, but I just get this error, then a few minutes of loading screen with the mint logo, and then it just reboots.

If this is your first time installing linux, check the ISO checksum. Then check your USB checksum. I had a corrupted download that booted, but randomly failed hardware.

Fix your RAM

It worked perfectly fine on Windows. I have changed nothing and now a boot option which should’ve booted Windows from my regular hard drive somehow came back to the USB drive with Mint on it and booted as it should so 🤷‍♂️ I guess my motherboard is wonky?

Edit: now my Network isn’t working…

Edit 2: Got it to work now. Still don’t know what the issue was

How did you figure that out? I'd have supposed something with the CPU (because it's the only thing I understand from the error messages …)

[-] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 6 points 1 day ago

Well my 2 minute google search said that cpu 0 bank 5 most likely refers to ram x3

So.. it's either that or something wrong with the bios

Yank that stick of RAM. See if it boots.

If it boots, you found the problem.

If it doesn't boot? Try yanking a different stick of RAM.

Pull one at a time until it boots. Once it boots, you know you've pulled the bad one.

RAM is the DNS of hardware problems

Not sure if its of help, but I get a similar issue when I try to shutdown or power-off my pop-os machine using the GUI shutdown for some reason. It gets shut-down fine if I use "systemctl poweroff" however... Will try to get a photo of it when the issue happens though

Okay based on my few minutes of research updating your bios may fix this issue. Try that first and if that doesn't work it's probably an issue with Mint. In that case try installing a different distro like Kubuntu, or Ubuntu Cinnamon or whatever it is you'd like.
