I have installed Manjaro Linux on my computer, coming from windows 10, where all hardware worked fine. I previously tried Manjaro out but ran into the same issue here. My OS would freeze or come to a complete crawl. Sometimes it can recover until the issue occurs again. Other times it will just reboot. After having trying to find a fix, I found it may have something to do with AMD Ryzen processors not having support for certain power functionality. A potential fix to this is to disable C-States entirely, or use Typical IDLE current. I have tried both of these, and still did not fix the system crashes. I then performed a BIOS update, this didn't solve this issue, however, since the BIOS update the system has shown to occasionally recover only to reboot minutes later. I found some articles suggesting that it could be due to the kernel version. Some of these posts were old and were suggesting to move kernel version to 5.4 LTS. I didn't think this would help, since my Kernel version is 5.15. Another article also suggested that these issues could be down to no swap partition being available. I have since added a swap partition (and enabled it). I canv erify that it is enabled by free
, which gives the output in the screen capture below.
When this issue occurs, the machines fans will noticeably speed up, suggesting some power management or fan issue with Linux drivers?
Another article I read suggested that creating another user account might rectify this, as extensions and addon's could cause similar issues. Although, since this is a clean install I doubt this is the case.
I took some photos of a system log after it crashed then rebooted using this command: journalctl --system --boot=-1
I have even followed this article on installing AMD microcode to try rectify this issue: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/amd-microcode-installation/50783.
All have attempted all solutions above and, issue still occurs.
Here is my system information, if its helpful.
