Problematic computer
I have been using a company computer running Ubuntu 22.04. There are frequent and unexplained problems, like segmentation faults, stack errors, files disappearing, computer freezing or not booting, or turning off immediately after I turn it on. I don't know what to do. The IT staff came to my office to check the computer and said "it was all good." I am not allowed to boot from a USB stick or enter BIOS or open the case. I ran a command line memory check several times with no errors. There is an NVIDIA card, but it's running X.org and usually headless. I mostly set up tasks via SSH.
What would you do?

It's not hard to reproduce, but it's annoying that when they finally came here to check it, no problems happened. I had to bug them so much to even get them to have a look.
Have a smartphone ready and record a video clip when/if it happens again.
I just did that! Brilliant idea, thanks!
