System crash after resuming suspend - AMD Ryzen

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing a system crash (a kernel panic, I guess) after resuming from suspend.

This can be reproduced from a TTY by running:

systemctl suspend

The system appears to enter suspension just fine, but when ever I attempt to resume, the CPU fan goes full speed for a few seconds and then the machine reboots.

This are the journal logs:

Aug 29 19:38:21 ryzen kernel: PM: suspend entry (deep)

NOTE: "ryzen" is the machine's hostname.

Machine:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core Processor
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 570
Kernel version: 5.8.5-arch1-1

I already installed the amd-ucode package and I'm using GRUB as the bootloader.
I also tested with the LTS kernel but the problem persists.

I didn't have this issue with openSUSE Tumbleweed, which is the distro I'm coming from, and if I recall correctly, it was using Linux 5.7 at the time.

Any idea how I can debug this further?
Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: Hibernate works fine BTW...

Re: System crash after resuming suspend - AMD Ryzen

UPDATE 2: Definitely a Hardware/BIOS issue.

I tested with openSUSE Tumbleweed in a Live CD -> Same problem
I tested with Windows 10 -> Same problem

So, this could be a BIOS misconfiguration somehow. The only recent modification I did was to disable Secure Boot to use the Arch ISO.

Re: System crash after resuming suspend - AMD Ryzen

UPDATE 3: Now it works, but I have no clue why...

So, I decided to update the BIOS firmware, because, why not?
I have a Gigabyte AB350-Gaming 3 motherboard and I updated the BIOS from F50a F51b.

After the update, the BIOS settings were reset and changed to legacy mode so it booted straight to my Windows partition.
So, I tested suspending in Windows and it worked.

After that, I switched off the legacy BIOS support only to find out that GRUB was no longer detected.
So, I booted the Arch USB installer and reinstalled GRUB.

I tested suspending in Arch and it worked! But I'm afraid I will never know what caused this...
