Debian – Random freezes with AMD Ryzen on Linux

debianlinux

Since I've bought an AMD Ryzen 7 1700 I've been having constant freezes while using Linux.

Recently I had a freeze with Debian 10. The last line I could find on my kern.log before the freeze is IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlx20e71702e354: link is not ready.

I never had this problem with Windows in the same machine. I also use the same software in other computers and I never had this problem.

I doubt that what I found in my kern.log is something to be concerned of, so I'm really lost. Could it be my motherboard that doesn't work properly? Power supply? So why it never happened on Windows even while playing very heavy games like GTA V and Battlefield V?

After adding processor.max_cstate=0 rcu_nocbs=0-15 kernel parameters the freezes are drastically less frequent but they happen from time to time.

I thought that it wasn't going to happen again after adding the kernel parameters since it reduced the frequency of them, until it did just now and I had data loss again. I don't want to go too personal here but I need to explicit that it is very annoying to be working and suddenly lose your important work data. I just want to fix this problem for good and not to worry about it anymore.

About the freeze

It is always the same thing, I'm still able to see the screen but can't move the cursor or change Num Lock, the computer doesn't come back until I power reset it manually.

I believe that Jun 20 22:52:52 was the time where my computer froze and I had to hard reset it since right after this line I saw the command line logging as you can see at Jun 20 22:56:01.

Different graphics card but same problem

Before owning a Radeon RX 590, I owned a NVIDIA GTX 1050 (Model N105TD5-4GD, manufactured by Gigabyte). Which I had the same problem even more constantly (maybe due to the lack of the kernel parameters or so). My NVIDIA GTX 1050 eventually died some time after a year of usage. Not sure if it this is important but I think it's safer to mention it.

Cooling

I had a WaterCooler CoolerMaster Masterliquid Lite 120V MLW-D12M-A20PW-R1 but since it was a little bit old and I'm scared of leaking and water damaging my CPU and motherboard, now I started using the Wraith Spire that came with my CPU. I honestly didn't notice much difference in terms of performance after the exchange.

Linux distributions in which I experienced the same issues

  • Arch Linux
  • Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Disco
  • Debian 9 (with Linux 4.14, Linux 4.9 or Linux 5.1)
  • Debian 10 (Buster)

I hope that somebody can help me. I've been facing this issue for years and I really don't want to quit Linux or even go back to Intel CPUs.

Thank you in advance.

Best Answer

Victor, my machine has almost the same configuration as yours and I have also tried to replace the Graphic card and different Linux flavors but the problem is still there. After a little research I figured out that it is a known problem at AMD and they also have a couple of bugs opened for that. Please take a look at this link and also at this one, because there are a couple of people reporting that they have fixed their problem. I haven't tried it yet, I'm just about to format my computer to give a try, thus, good luck!
