Built a Gigabyte AB350M-D3H system using Ryzen 1200, 16.04 did not work. Waited until mid-October 2017 to get 17.10 official support for Gigabyte/Ryzen, and seemed stable enough ... no random crashes.



But now I am seeing random crashes and lockups... and seemingly excessive CPU activity after up for a while and cursor is used.



Additional note, I did remove the CPU with possible return of the motherboard, but ultimately did not feel Microcenter needs to suffer for the incompatibility. Reinstalled the CPU applying what I THOUGHT was the correct amount of thermal compound, I but may have been wrong.



What is the most probable cause of shutdowns... Ubuntu 17.10/Ryzen/Gigabyte or CPU overheating due to bad installation?



I am not trying to cause waves or point fingers, but having this "server" crash is more than inconvenient. The next steps, as I see it:




Keep uninstall/reinstall the CPU until it may improve (risky)
Buy a new ASRock motherboard, reinstall the CPU once and waste an otherwise decent Gigabyte motherboard (really? damm!)

  • As stated above ... not trying to bash Gigabyte or Ubuntu ... but there were issues with Gigabyte/Ryzen/Ubuntu last year. Just want to know if the motherboard is probably salvageable or if I just chalk it up to "should goggle first for unexpected issues" and buy a new ASRock motherboard.
