Manjaro reboots when booting

Support
1

I have rEFInd setup to boot my Windows and Manjaro dual setup for nearly a year now.

But just two weeks ago, first Windows couldn’t shut itself down anymore, shutdown always results in rebooting into rEFInd.
Then several days ago, I noticed Manjaro doesn’t boot every time, sometimes it just restarts, and I have to boot it again. Also, Manjaro can’t wake up from suspended state anymore.
Now today the booting issue has become so severe that I need to boot it 3 or 4 times before it actually boots.

I have no idea what’s causing it, I tried reinstalling rEFInd using refind-install, and updated my BIOS to the latest version, but both didn’t fix the issue, right now I suspect a hardware issue, but I have no clue what could be causing it.

Hi @arslan2012, and welcome!

In order for us, or anyone for that matter, to be able to provide assistance, more information is necessary. To that end, please see:

Please also note and heed: Forum Rules - Manjaro

Hope you manage!

:bangbang: Tip: :bangbang:

To provide terminal output, copy the text you wish to share, and paste it here, surrounded by three (3) backticks, a.k.a grave accents. Like this:

```
pasted text
```

Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:

~~~
pasted text
~~~

This will just cause it to be rendered like this:

Portaest sed
elementum
cursus nisl nisi
hendrerit ac quis
sit
adipiscing
tortor sit leo commodo.

Instead of like this:

Portaest sed elementum cursus nisl nisi hendrerit ac quis sit adipiscing tortor sit leo commodo.

Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.

Thereby improving legibility and making it much easier for those trying to be of assistance.

:bangbang::bangbang: Additionally

If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:

LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl

This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.

Please edit your post accordingly.

By disabling all initramfs from the kernel params, the system slowed down enough to show me the error
mce: [Hardware Error]
which took me to the solution System auto-rebooted... mce: [Hardware Error] in dmesg related to CPU
