The fact that other software does not complain does not mean it is not faulty/mismatched hardware. Linux will frequently trigger more faults (as an example, since it aggressively uses entire memory as filesystem cache, memory problems are highlighted even when Windows runs just fine).

Similarly, new drivers might be stressing the system in a way the old ones didn't (eg. cooling might be insufficient).

Not saying that is happening for you, but the fact that older Ubuntu or Windows work correctly is not an indicator of trouble-free hardware.
