Hello, |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Interesting post. |
| 44 |
Just read this and have same issue. |
| 45 |
AMD Ryzen |
| 46 |
X370 Asus motherboard |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
I seem to get issue roughly every two to three weeks where I get a |
| 49 |
complete lock (Sys rescue keys dont work) or occasional reboot. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
I personally think this is a ryzen/linux issue as I dual boot with |
| 52 |
Windows and never had a problem there (for gaming purposes only). |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Not much help but good to see I'm not the only one. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Think you'll be fine loading latest firmware as have done this but it |
| 57 |
hasn't really helped. |
