Nevermind... I got it back up, but overwriting the usb flash with the most recent flash backup from unraid connect (which was only about 5-ish hours from when the server was last seen as online and stopped working).

My Unraid has oddly stopped working a couple of times... I had to force a power cycle on it for it to get back up. Now, it's stuck and seems to either get stuck on "emhttpd: starting emhttpd" or it would boot loop. Ran memtest, and it passed. Tested usb for corruption, seems ok.

Just a quick update that the change to "typical current idle" for power supply control seems to have worked and I have not had any random shutdown/reboot. No other changes to configuration or bios settings were done. Still untested is the c-states, but seems unnecessary.

I'd like to report that it's been 4 days since I implemented this change, as opposed to doing any ryzen tweak for c-states and I have not had any random reboot even when syslog is not mirrored to flash. Seems stable. I'll give it a few more days before I would close this and call it solved, but I just wanted to report back. ( I haven't tested the c-state change, yet.... But the typical current idle change seems the less drastic change of the two, so it was best tried first.)

Ryzen tweaks? I do have a Ryzen 1700X on a X370 board. It's been running on this system for a couple of months no issues, so I didn't think I need to do any tweaks. Looking it up seems it's about the C states. I'll do some more digging and will report back. Thanks for the suggestion

Seems my UnRaid is acting weird. Once a day, it would randomly restart and kick in a "unclean shutdown" parity check. I can't figure out what's wrong. Tried memtest 24 hr, all clean. Nothing weird with the power supply either. All hardware seems fine. So, I started to enable mirror syslog to flash... And it stopped randomly restarting. Waited it out 1 weeks, and after no more incident, I turned off mirror syslog to flash assuming it somehow got resolved. And just today, it restarted on its own again. So, I enabled mirror syslog to flash again just so I have a record again. Any idea? Is it potentially the flash drive is dying and I need to replace it? I've also recently replace one drive after UnRaid kept complaining it had problems. SMART reports all good, and parity checks reported no problem either. I still replaced it, just to be safe. Checked the drive on a different machine, and seemed fine. No sure if relevant, but wanted to mention just in case. Only after I replaced the drive when the random restarts started happening, not before.
