I've been searching online for answers to this, and I could not find a solution so I am making a new thread. My system will often crash in an instant, dump the memory, and then shutdown. Usually this happens when I open up specific pages in my browser (www/qutebrowser) but it can often happen at random, for an example I ran "
Here is a portion of the log it generated for me:

I have read some posts that said this is a hardware issue, which I am not too sure of (I didn't have this problem on Linux but it has been a while, so the hardware could have degraded since then.) It could be a graphics setup error. I don't know, I got X and all programs working and I am able to use my laptop most of the time, whenever it isn't crashing. Sometimes I get black squares with fuzzy stuff inside them but usually I just restart the program having that issue and it fixes itself.
I hope this can be fixed. I may have to install Linux if it can't, although it would only be because I need to use my computer without all these interruptions and limitations, and I would definitely miss FreeBSD a lot.
rustup update" in a VT without X once a couple days ago, so I could update the Rust language toolchain, and it crashed after downloading the updates. Another time I simply launched X with startx (which I always do, odd it crashed that once.) And another time it happened when I started telegram-desktop. It is consistent with random pages on my web browser, however.Here is a portion of the log it generated for me:
