Randomly crashing my computer?

Crashes occur randomly. Sometimes I can go an entire day without a crash but often it is 4-8 hour intervals.

My specs are:
Ryzen 5-1600
Asus B350-E
Corsair Vengance LPX 16gb ram kit( using only one 8gb stick)
MSI Armor Rx 480

It has been reported that this motherboard crashes here and there but I seems to not happen on windows.

dmesg: https://pastebin.com/8Vt1Rs18

journalctl: https://pastebin.com/ESK7EX9b

The crash happened around 11:40.
Screen frozen, if music is playing it stops, seems no keyboard entry works,
sys-rq doesn't work,
CTRL+ALT+2 to another tty doesn't work

Re: Randomly crashing my computer?

The question in your title should be very easy for you to answer given the frequency of crashes: just go a couple days without using neovim.  Do you still get crashes?

removed it, it's not neovim, going to change the title.

Re: Randomly crashing my computer?

Do you experience this crash running off a live usb?  If it doesn't, then I don't think it would be motherboard related.  In fact, if it doesn't happen in windows, I wouldn't bother with this.
The logs don't show too much.  iirc the log is blank from 11:10 ~ 11:54.
Has the crash always happened?  If not, what changed?  Try to mark the first time you remember the crash and review pacman log.  Could be a bug introduced somewhere, another thing I would do is boot into a different DE/WM with nothing autostarted and have only default services running.  Just need to keep eliminating by trial and error, that's the best idea I can think of given the very limited details provided.
