halorrr Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) Hey guys! I keep getting a Machine check event in my log. EDIT: Forgot to mention the problem this causes. My computer will either freeze up or restart when idle. This only happens when idle. Jan 15 10:42:51 Colossus kernel: mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged Jan 15 10:42:51 Colossus kernel: mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 7: Machine Check: 0 Bank 5: bea0000000000108 Jan 15 10:42:51 Colossus kernel: mce: [Hardware Error]: TSC 0 ADDR 1ffff8107593a MISC d012000101000000 SYND 4d000000 IPID 500b000000000 Jan 15 10:42:51 Colossus kernel: #8 Jan 15 10:42:51 Colossus kernel: mce: [Hardware Error]: PROCESSOR 2:800f11 TIME 1516030954 SOCKET 0 APIC 7 microcode 8001129 From googling it seems to be related to my Ryzen CPU (AMD - Ryzen 7 1700 3.0GHz 8-Core Processor) but can't figure out what to do about it. I'm on unRAID 6.4.0_rc21b and google said to try disabling the OpCache (not sure what that does but I tried it) on my motherboard but that didn't fix it. Anyone working with a Ryzen and know what I can do this this? I tried to get more detail in mcelog but just got. mcelog: ERROR: AMD Processor family 23: mcelog does not support this processor. Please use the edac_mce_amd module instead. CPU is unsupported If it helps this is my build: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/halorrr/saved/qgqNNG Also if there is a better forum I should post this in let me know. Bit of a noob and was unsure.

david279 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Disable C states in your bios. I have a R5 1600x and haven't had a ryzen crash in a long time.Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
halorrr Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Just disabled it (assuming C6 states are the same thing, because I couldn't find anything labeled c state in my bios). I will report back if this fixes it! Thanks! Quote Link to comment

I think what he meant when he said to disable C states was to disable any of them that the BIOS/UEFI shows, as it won't show all. Quote Link to comment
ljm42 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 You should run the zenstates program that ships with unRAID, it apparently does a more thorough job of disabling C6 than the bios does Instructions are included in this post: 1 Quote Link to comment
halorrr Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Yup disabling the C6 states fixed it, ironically right after i figure that out unraid 6.4 was released and the update nots included that C6 states needed to be disabled for Ryzen haha. I'll check out the zenstates as well though! Quote Link to comment
cablecutter Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Ran into this same issue and depending on your motherboard you may have to "disable all C-states" instead of using the disable c6 option. I have a x370 ASRock and was not stable with just disable c6 on. This is disappointing...but you can still save power by enabling "cool n quiet" operation. In my case, this drops the processor down to 1200Mhz along with the voltage. Quote Link to comment
