Random reboots on 20.04 LTS

Solution 1:

I finally was able to fix it. It turns out it was the "ACPI bios error" who was rebooting the PC.

I fixed it by editing the configuration file for GRUB:

Open the file as root, for example by running

sudoedit /etc/default/grub

Change the line beginning GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= to include the parameter libata.noacpi=1, so that after your edit it says, for example

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="libata.noacpi=1"

Save the file and exit, then run this command:

sudo update-grub

Reboot and it should work fine.
