Are Windows getting broken up many times every single day?
Are Windows getting broken up many times every single day?
Here is a little update on what's happening. I would say it is too early to call the system stable, even though I haven't crashed in the last two days and overall the system feels more steady. It is less laggy, Chrome tabs no longer crash, and strangely enough my Python scripts stopped crashing (I didn't think this was related). Again, we only have been here for 2 days so let's see how it goes. Here is the supposed fix: after looking into problems reported by other 3600 users, I decided to downgrade my BIOS to AGESA 1.0.0.4. The system crashed within a few hours. Looking again, other users reported stability with AGESA 1.0.0.3 AB. So I downgraded and so far it's been working like a charm. Oddly enough, the first thing I noticed was that my screen stopped auto sleeping. I bring this up because someone mentioned how newer revisions of AGESA had changes to how the CPU idles. They said the newer versions had hard-coded values for idle voltages. Assuming the early bins of the 3600 had finicky memory controllers (as other users suggested), I felt as if these idle voltages would undervolt the CPU too far and cause memory controller instability, hence all the memory related dumps. Some users reported success using newer AGESA versions if they changed their voltage settings. I didn't want to mess with idle voltage settings so I think I'll sit with AGESA 1.0.0.3 AB. If any crashes start appearing again I will be back but I am hopeful that this solved my issue. Thank you everyone who took the time out of their day to troubleshoot my PC!
