Do you remember what you fixed when you fixed it on the window side? Asking because what you’re describing almost sounds like you have a bad driver, which would explain why your Linux side would also have a similar problem, IE locking up completely auddenly, if it had the same bad driver and interacted with the hardware the same way causing a similar crash.

Honestly, if it’s fixable in the windows it’s definitely fixable Linux. It just might take a little bit more extra work to figure it out.
