Ciro Santilli reproduced on Dell Inspiron 15 3520 with factory defaults. This bug prevents "wipe windows" installation without workarounds, one of which is to disable encryption in Windows.
Happens at startup without doing anything, and then keeps happening randomly infinitely many times... on a almost clean 24.04 ISO install on Dell Inspiron 15 3520... God how can it be so bad.
Viewing the apport issue a bit further shows title:

Had this happen on P14s on Ubuntu 23.10 while causally using Chromium. The screen went blank for a few seconds, but it apparently managed to reboot itself, and things started working again, except that and most windows were killed:

It appears to be a bug in the AMDGPU open source driver.
I think this was on Wayland. Possibly relatd but on X Window System, crashed the UI, showed message "oh no! Something has gone wrong."

Happened on P14s on Ubuntu 23.10, which started with fresh Ubuntu 23.10 install.
However it did not happen on Lenovo ThinkPad P51 (2017) also on Ubuntu 23.10 which had been upgraded several times from God knows what starting point... At first one had X11 (forced by Nvidia drivers) and the other Wayland, but moving to p14s X11 changed nothing.
Both were running GNOME Display Manager.
Same happens with Super + L, but also CLI commands: askubuntu.com/questions/7776/how-do-i-lock-the-desktop-screen-via-command-line
Switching to the other installed kernel, 5.9 made boot work.
The solution on kernel 6.2 was: 
sudo apt instal nvidia-driver-515
as per comments under: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2012559. This also made the nvidia driver work: Find GPU information in Ubuntu.
Previously I had: 
nvidia-driver-510
and it blew up before reaching disk decryption.
I also tried: 
nvidia-driver-525
but that broke in a different way: 
Finished apport-autoreport.service - Process error reports when automatic reporting is enabled.
nvidia-modeset: ERROR: GPU:0: Idling display engine timed out: 0x0000947d:0:0:407
(1 of 2) Job systemd-backlight@backlight: nvidia_e.service/start running (32s no limit)
GDM crashes sometimes when switching windows right after opening a new window: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/1956299
Does not happen every time, only some times. Can't figure out why. Usually happens when has suspended for a longer time.
bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-470/+bug/1946303 sounds like a likely report, Nvidia driver version 470, but can't find those error messages anywhere. The last line of: 
journalctl -o short-precise -k -b -1
once was: 
PM: suspend entry (deep)
which is when sleep starts.
This suggests that it is not a video bug then, seems that it is not waking up at all? Gotta try to SSH into it. OK. I did SSH into it, and that was fine, so it is just the video that won't start.
PM: suspend exit
bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1949977 is another possible bug, based on kernel version. I'm running 5.13, which is one of the failing versions on the report. Can't find any interesting dmesg though.
In another crash: 
journalctl -o short-precise -k -b -1
had the following interesting lines: 
nvidia-modeset: WARNING: GPU:0: Lost display notification (0:0x00000000); continuing.
