I personally think my CPU is just not properly supported https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=156151 - since my previous 3 2200G worked flawlessly and only crashing when overwhelmed (like expected), and the other day my PC crashed and rebooted 2 times within 20 minutes of each other, during a zoom call, then I switched to Windows, and again, no issues… The fact that Windows can run for 3 days straight with me gaming, video editing, just letting it idle, copy/move files, browsing internet and YouTube (pretty much doing everything that would generally crash Linux), whatever and have no crashes or hangs tells me that the 7 5700x just isn’t properly supported yet (either that or Windows has some sort of logic to restore a crashing system without letting the user even know the system is crashing), especially considering that I have checked the temps, stress test the CPU and RAM (on Linux, didn’t crash once during those tests either which was strange), reset my memory module, even tried running Linux Mint (no luck)… My friend had the same issue when he was on Linux Mint with his 5 5600X (and 0 issues on Windows too), until we switched him to Endeavour and the issue disappeared completely (suppose that somewhere the CPU got supported)
@joekamprad Got a 1080TI here, I’ll try your method, I really hope it helps, I have reached peak frustration at this point
@His_Turdness Will try this as well, hopefully it helps
This is totally untrue. The issue is more likely the motherboard and it’s implementation of UEFI Bios. Or the Cpu has been damaged installing it. Or it could be the power supply or ram.
Edit: Did you try these settings from the link.
SVM Mode - Enabled
Power Loading - Enabled
CEC2019Ready - Disabled
ERP - Enabled
Global C State - Auto
IOMMU - Disabled
Well, if it is not a support issue, then BIOS is the most likely culprit, since I am 90% sure the CPU is fine (have been stress tested multiple times with no issues during tests with heavy load - and Windows also not complaining about it during CPU intensive tasks). I highly doubt the PSU is an issue, it is still relatively new and 650w or so, with no power issues on Windows (where my CPU+GPU+RAM are often being almost fully utilised - way more pressure than I’d usually put on Linux day-to-day), and my RAM is fine, it was before upgrading my CPU, and was fine during RAM focused stress tests after CPU upgrade. The only reason I came to that conclusion was because I only seem to be experiencing issues on Linux, no matter the distro or versions, and because I’ve seen the same issue happening on my friends PC, which as previously stated was fixed when he upgraded to EOS with newer software.
You haven’t tried updating the UEFI Firmware (Bios) to the latest. I know they have two beta versions which is ridiculous. Why they haven’t put out the a final is beyond me. The fact is the last two versions have updated AMD AGESA. This controls the power functions of the motherboard related to the Cpu. I know it say’s you can’t go back to previous Bios version which doesn’t make any sense to me. But you also can’t with the version you have now. Personally i am not afraid of using a beta Bios. But it’s your hardware so it’s up to you. I just think the updated AGESA is important. Will it correct your problem. I can’t say.
I will then trust your input, I’ll update to the latest version sometime after the 18th (got some important stuff that needs handling first, so cannot risk a broken system), but then I’ll get back to you on it - for now I’ll keep trying alternative methods
And no, I did not choose the NVIDIA option on install, since it says for the latest cards, and the 1080 is not that new anymore I think, but, if you believe reinstalling via that option would be better, I can, I don’t currently have any important files on my install, so won’t be a pain - and also same yeah, I very rarely had issues with my GPU in the past, especially after moving to EOS
I don’t want to get ahead of myself again, but I’ve been using it for about 6 hours straight now, doing what will usually makes it crash within 2-or less hours, no crashes of yet… Also no crashes last week either. It had one tiny hang which made me think it’s gonna crash, but it just continued working like a beast. Could it be that all of this time my GPU caused my CPU to have issues because of drivers - to the point of rebooting itself? Insane, would never have guessed that lol
I’ll keep y’all updated, if by Friday I still haven’t seen any issues, I will mark this as the solution
