Alienware 15 r3 2.5 ghz crashing randomly after successful 20.1 Cinnamon install
I was able to successfully install Mint 20.1 64 bit Cinnamon on this Alienware laptop I was gifted, but it crashes randomly. Even after a few subsequent re installations and turning off secure boot. I am a total nube and have googled this topic and searched the forum here to no avail. Any advice or tips about what I might try to get it to run stably on this machine would be of great value. I can boot from usb and test the 20.1 all day long and it won't crash. I know this machine was built to run windows 10 and that dell does not support linux on this particular laptop so maybe there is some work around that I am just not "in the know" on. I genuinely appreciate any assistance that you are willing and able to provide.

Hi aquakey, Welcome.
How about you show us your system info, as mentioned above in the pink box. Someone will likely see some useful diagnostics.
