  • This. I had symptoms extremely similar to OPs and saw this in the kernel logs immediately before the system would reset:

    [    0.705185] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged
    [    0.705187] mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 17: Machine Check: 0 Bank 5: baa0000000090150
    [    0.705190] fbcon: Taking over console
    [    0.705191] mce: [Hardware Error]: TSC 0 MISC d012000200000000 SYND 4d000020 IPID 500b000000000
    [    0.705195] mce: [Hardware Error]: PROCESSOR 2:a20f12 TIME 1678252812 SOCKET 0 APIC 3 microcode a20120a
    

    It turned out to be a hardware issue with my CPU (AMD Ryzen 9 5950X). I got it replaced under warranty (twice actually, the first replacement had other issues) and everything is fine now. Definitely check what the kernel logs say.

    You can look at the previous kernel log from before a reboot with journalctl -k -b -1 (as root)






  • FreeCAD is the way it is mostly because it’s not optimized by multi-billion dollar companies with teams of developers and UI/UX engineers. It’s very much the do-all-the-steps-your-self CAD package.

    That said, there are loads of bad or outdated video tutorials out there, and generally people tend to find one way to do a thing and then market their video as THE way to do it. Treat FreeCAD like Linux, there are lots of “correct” ways to use it, and also don’t expect it to be something it’s not.

    If you feel comfortable with it, it would be cool for you to make a short video of where you are stuck, or where you feel you are doing unnecessary steps, and maybe we can help you reach our goal in a simpler way?
