For some reason my boss was super gung-ho about Ryzen and so now I have a work PC that randomly freezes at unknown intervals. Sometimes twice in a day, but usually more like once a week or week and a half. They're hard freezes, and typically nothing gets logged - you see a normal entry in syslog for a normal system event at a random time and then the next entry will be from when you got in to work and had to hard reset. Pretty sure at this point it's either CPU or Mobo related (thought we don't have the tools to verify the power supply under load), but no real means of diagnosing the problem.
- londons_explore 9y agoI wish motherboards had built in PSU testers. It would be super simple to have a cheap ADC measuring the voltage on every power line all the time, and then have some way that software could access the current voltage and minimum and maximum seen in the last few seconds. That could then be paired with a bios which displays a boot time resettable warning if the PSU has been misbehaving.
