[Bug 1913957] [NEW] internet slows frames start dropping and then the entire system restarts

[Robert M Shiles]

Public bug reported:

I recently installed Ubuntu 20.04, the system will slow significantly,
start dropping frames, slowing internet speeds, and finally randomly
restart. once it restarts it enters this cycle where it will keep
restarting multiple times before it reaches the log in screen. This
occurred even when I was first installing it on this machine. Windows 10
worked fine on the system however I no longer have it installed because
it was corrupted during the Linux installation process. I have since
reinstalled ubuntu multiple times all of which have been quite arduous
with the system crashing multiple times before I could get through a
complete installation.
