The latest update for Ubuntu Studio on July 23 2019 is causing memory problems. (Kernel 5.0.0-21) My desktop settings do not fully load when booting up, and the mouse exhibits heavy lag. When I boot using a previous kernel (5.0.0-20) all my desktop settings, including the Nvidia settings load as expected, and everything runs fine. It's as if certain items aren't loading into memory on startup as they should. I recently cloned everything from a HDD to a SSD without a glitch and everything was running extremely well until the update on July 23. My Nvidia driver is the recommended 418 as I've been asked to clarify this.

Just to document the solution...

From the comments...

Figured out what the problem was. And I was right in thinking that it was a memory conflict of some sort. In BIOS, I had XMP enabled which automatically set my ram to run at it's maximum speed of 1600 (a bit of overclocking in a sense). I've toned it back down to 1333 and now when I boot up using the latest 5.0.0-21 kernel everything is at it should be.
