I have a machine equipped with a core i7, AMD Radeon RX580 and 8GB ram. I have installed Ubuntu 18.04 and have been experiencing some weird issues with some applications: Firefox crashes continually to the point where it is pretty much unusable. I installed chrome-stable and I can run it fine for 30 min than it crashes. When I look ad the /var/log/kern.log I see a segmentation fault error that pertains to chrome processes. I tried to reinstall but the problem persists. Here is the kernel log:

Fixed my problem!
After trying numerous things, finally decided to play around with the hardware. I switched my RAM for another chip and that fixed my problem. It looks like the old RAM was physically damaged.
