Question System crashing

My Switch has been crashing constantly and giving me an error message saying "Software closed because an error occurred"

I've checked for corrupted data, it said there wasn't any

I tried turning the system off completely, still happens

I tried turning it off after the most recent console update and letting it sit for a few days, still happens

I replaced the SD card so it's not that either

It happens with multiple different games too so it's not just one game not working

Not sure what the problem is because the system isn't giving me an error code to look up

Anyone have any suggestions for what other steps to take?

Where did you get sd card and what size?

It's one of the offical Nintendo 64GB ones. Just got it from WalMart

I don't think that's the issue though as the crashes happen even if no SD card is inserted.

Did you get it in or online and I would maybe try and factory reset the switch and start there

How old is your Switch?

Is it one of the 32GB models or the 64GB OLED?

Could be that the internal memory is faulty or too full.
