Hi Luke,

the first things to check would be the saved kern.log and Xorg.0.log from before the crash occured. Both should be in /var/log. These logs will keep a long record but you should be able to find the bad run as kern.log is timestamped and with Xorg.0.log you should be able to scroll back to the previous X run.

That might give some indication, either by logging an error or even showing a stack trace, but sometimes they don't flush out completely when the system crashes.

Some of the other experts on here (Alex, Michel, Christian, etc) might give you more ideas should these logs not show anything.

Greetings, thanks for the awesome drivers.

I have a recurring problem with one 3D program (UE4editor) crashing my computer during a particular operation.

I believe the problem is at the DRM layer.

Brief details:
Radeon 7850HD
It crashes using radeon and amdgpu (on ubuntu 17.04, linux 4.12, padoka ppa).
It does not crash using the fglrx driver (on ubuntu 14.04).
The entire machine hangs and requires a reset.

My question:
How can I go about collecting more information to fix/report the problem? Is there a tutorial on which logs to look at? I may even be able to fix it myself if I could get a stack trace.

Part of the fun is that it is an older card.
