Anyone knows about first gen Ryzen CPUs failing?
My PC with a Ryzen 5 1600 randomly freezes about once per day.
I've tried: different pw supply, different motherboard, different GPU, disconnecting my secondary HDD. I individually tested each of the 2 RAM sicks. I also left Memtest running all night, but no errors.
It happens on Linux and Windows.
What's left to try is changing the (in theory, good) RAM modules or... the CPU.
The funny thing: my friend with a 1500X has the same problem now.
