After installing, I set up an ext4 partition, mount it, and then run the following command:
Code:sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nvme0n1p1 bs=1M status=progress conv=fdatasync
This is the one that hangs all the time. Not sure what to do next.
If you use dd on a mounted partition, I think you'd get undefined behavior, likely crashes. When I've accidentally dd'd to the wrong device (mounted /boot and /) in the past its caused a system crash.
Otherwise, it could still be a temperature thing, could also have to do with power draw. Maybe try lowering the power setting as xmixahlx suggested - my previous comment has an example systemd service to do that.
And as an aside, my thermal padding rig has been working well, no more crashes so far.
