Ryzen 1700 Idle Freeze problem

[Jacky]

I have a version 6.6.6 setup with a Ryzen 1700 CPU and a Gigabyte ab350m-d3h motherboard. I keep getting random lock ups and freezes after a few hours of up time. I've tried a bunch of solutions from online but none of which is working for me. I can provide the diagnostic files from FCP if needed, but I don't know which file is important. 

 

What I've tried so far:

1. Putting rcu_nocbs=0-15 parameter in Syslinux Configuration.

2. Setting Global C-State Control to disabled and Power Supply Idle Control to Typical Current Idle in the BIOS

3. Putting /usr/local/sbin/zenstates --c6-disable into the go file inside the flash drive.

 

Please give me some suggestion of what I can do to fix this problem. Thanks in advance.

Someone please give me some advice.

If the known workarounds don't work for you not much advice we can give you, besides using different hardware, Ryzen issues with Linux are well known, some board/CPUs combos work better than others, but even those can work great with a kernel release and crash on the next one.

Do you have a good motherboard to recommend that works well with the 1700?

No, all my servers have Intel CPUs, you can search the forum, but like mentioned one specific Ryzen board could work well with a previous release and then crash on the following one.

I use 1700 with Asus PRIME X370-PRO, no hang / unstable problem for Unraid ( but like common issue, sometimes it can't boot to OS ).

For previous C-State problem, system would just hang up, no any call trace. The only trace happen was bad RAM stick.

 

As your MB was MATX, I have one Asrock (MATX) or Gigabyte (ITX) could do very basic Unraid bootup test for your ref. ( i.e. ~10hrs, not 1700 CPU and no disk )

 

BTW, suggest you perform more test first ( i,e, memory test, unstall all plugin, safe mode ..... )

Did you have to any adjustments to fix the freeze problem or it fixed itself after an update? Thanks for the suggestions.

Just disable C-State at BIOS, but later version already fix this.

 

** Remark : For my case, C-State problem would cause hang quickly after idle, no need for hour **

I have found my 1700 works fine with previous version of unraid.  6.5.x  as soon as I upgrade to any of the 6.6.x I experience this problem. Still have not mound a fix except run older unraid
