[Solved] Random crashes / Freezes

Hi, I am getting random freezes. Only a hard reset will get me up and running. Time between freezes is random, from a few minutes to sometimes a day or so. I have ran Ram tests with memtest, checked for hard drive errors, swapped out PSU. Even changed MoBO. Tried the sysrq key combo I have seen sujested to others in various forums with a similar issue.

It can happen just surfing net, youtube, playing a game, checking email, pretty much anytime while doing different things.

I am no expert so I apologize in advance if I do not follow some protocol or have posted incorrectly.

I can run windows with out any crashes. I prefer not to if I can get linux running stabley. Have tried numourous disto's, Ubuntu variants, Arch vasriants and Fedora all with the same result.

I would show the output for journalctl -b-1 but not sure how to and as it is huge and not sure people would appreciate the mass post.

uname -a

Linux archlinux 5.18.7-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sat, 25 Jun 2022 20:22:01 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (12) @ 3.600GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER
Memory: 2543MiB / 15916MiB

Please let me know what required info is needed and the best way to post it.

Not sure this is the way to show this but it's the output for journalctl -b-1

And there're also 6788 instances of

Jun 27 18:37:50 archlinux pipewire-pulse[843]: spa.loop: 0x555fb76f7ce8: queue full 64, need 152

No idea whether that's symptom (of the lockup) or cause.

Also you don't seem to have a static hostname, so fix that.

Re: [Solved] Random crashes / Freezes

Thank's Seth for your time and effort, appreciated. I will look into that in the next day or so. In a way I hope it's not the Ryzen problem. Not sure were to start with the pipewire problem though, so will look at the Ryzen fix first.

Thank's again,
Peter

Re: [Solved] Random crashes / Freezes

Just Disabled C6 with disable-c6-systemd suggested in the link posted by Seth. Seemed the easiest place to start from. Will run for a few days to see how I go.

Re: [Solved] Random crashes / Freezes

Did you, by chance, apply the ME update in between the BIOS updates? You should check Samsung's Magician app to determine whether your SSD needs any firmware changes. Have you tried manually entering the frequency, timings, and voltage instead of using X.M.P? Set the voltage at 1.45v, to begin with, and if things remain stable, reduce the voltage until the lockups occur again.

Re: [Solved] Random crashes / Freezes

I tried some of the suggested things but ended up upgrading CPU which was in pipeline anyway. That fixed my crashing so will mark as solved, thanks all for your time and input.
