Kernel crash errors in /var/log/messages please help.

English Hardware
#1

Hello,

I’m getting kernel call trace and Node0 error messages in my messages file. Sometimes my usb mouse stops working, sometimes virtualbox crashes, etc. This is on pretty new hardware that I purchased at the beginning of the month and I have 16GB of RAM so I should not be running out of memory.

Here are the most recent messages:

Any idea if this points to a hardware problem or would it be something else?

First of all, this is not a kernel crash. Kernel crashes result in a dead system.

Xorg is requesting 262144 (order 6) bytes of contiguous memory, but no block
of that size is available due to memory fragmentation.

Your kernel is tainted by loading a proprietary, unlicensed driver - likely a
graphics driver. That one is probably causing the problem.

Do you have swap space available? That would give the kernel the possibility of
reclaiming some space.
