Whenever I've seen General Protection Faults in the past they turned<br class="gmail_msg">

Today, I’ve set up Linux (Ubuntu 16.04.1) on my laptop and desktop<br class="gmail_msg">

<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
On the laptop, the wi-fi seems to go in and out—<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
-it stays connected<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">

My concern: Let’s say I wanted to troubleshoot the driver to see what was<br class="gmail_msg">
going on, I have a secure boot system, so would I be able to boot a custom<br class="gmail_msg">
