syscall -> asm -> page_fault

This a native machine code execution that crashed in your system. Could be an instruction that your CPU doesn't understand (because the instruction is newer than your CPU, example: AVX512), or because your hardware returns an error when this instruction is executed (RAM issues?). Too difficult for me to understand this ASM crash.

The OS splits memory into pages and assigns the pages to applications. A page fault usually means one of two things:

  • hardware fault
  • programming error

You can check your memory with Memtest86. Some LiveCDs come with it. If it's a programs fault you can only try other software if possible.

Does it say anything above that? Look for the last line written in plain English. That should be what Linux was trying to do before it panicked.

Issue is solved. Thanks though.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
