Using my workstation pretty heavily when all of the sudden screens go black and a message pops up:“Unable to read boot sector to mark fs as dirty”
Whats up with this? What would cause this prompt?

“unable to load firmware” may be normal and harmless.

I dont think that the crashing is coming from rtl_nic however this can be blacklisted and for some reason i will research a little the L14 Ethernet controller firmware.
You can try put your Gnu Computer to performance mode or ondemand and retest.

I can try that.
Just such an odd issue. Ran diagnostics and no faults.
