Hardware issue detected during Ubuntu 19.04 installation. Please check physical components.
I've experienced a few times recently where my daily driver kept freezing. I reset the BIOS, re-applied thermal paste, and switched kernels—currently using Linux 5.2.x—but sometimes it stays up for days. Last night it restarted once and then locked itself hard later. I'm running memtest now... one pass completed without problems so far. What's missing? My setup is Ubuntu 19.04 Ryzen 7 1700X, 3.4Ghz, Asus Prime X470-PRO motherboard, 32GB RAM (16GB x2), Corsair CMK32GX4M2A26 with PC3-21300 DDR4 at XMP 2666Mhz. It's connected to an LG 4K HDR monitor via DP, and a 1TB Samsung Evo 970 NVMe SSD with CoolerMaster 212 EVO Black fans on the CPU. Temperatures are usually in the low 40s, but they drop about 5°C after reapplying paste.
I’m planning to try that @Apasz. I ran a MemTest86 test all day, and it completed successfully. It started with the older 4.x kernel version, but that shouldn’t affect the outcome.
It remains challenging to unlock. I’ll attempt to start from Windows to check for further problems.
There are no problems with the Ryzen here. It might be a kernel or motherboard issue. Make sure you have amd-ucode installed. I'll look at dmesg | grep error and journalctl | grep "hardware error". If you're okay with C-States turned off, it shouldn't cause any issues.
