Foolwing up an old thread I know, but my ssystem ahs been pretty stable until recently, when it started locking up about one a week at least. This co-incided with me doing two things to it: 1) Doubling the amount of RAM in it to 16 gig, using RAM which runs a bit faster than the original sticks (2667 instead of 2400) 2) Upgrading to FreeBSD 12 BET4 Now, I am really hoping the lockups are down to the RAM and that I just need to underclock it a bit, but I am a bit worried by the fact it happened the ame time as I went to 12. Has anyone else seen any issues under 12 when stable under 11? cheers, -pete. PS: I went to 12 to get Linux emulation back, as this is still broken on Ryzen under 11 I believe.

As you suggest, it's probably due to the particular hardware combination. If updating the BIOS doesn't help, I agree that lowering the memory clock is the best next step. Eric

Is it possible something "undid" one of the fixes ? I brought the box in question upto 12.0-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 12.0-PRERELEASE r340724 and its been fine for 5 days. Sadly, when it was locking up (no panic, just a solid lockup) it took some random amount of time and generally did not matter if the box was loaded or not. ??? ---Mike -- ------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 x203 Sentex Communications, mike at sentex.net Providing Internet services since 1994 www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada

This time after ~ 10 days of uptime. Box was idle at the time and just a solid freeze. This is an ASUS PRIME X370-PRO running BIOS from 09/07/2018 (latest).? Not sure if BIOS related or OS related. I have another motherboard (MSI) that I will install 12.0 on and see if its any different.? There is also a micro code update from AMD last week. However, there are no release notes as to what it changes. I will hold off on that for now and see if I can get lockups on the MSI in the next week or two. ??? ---Mike> -- > ------------------- > Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 x203 > Sentex Communications, mike at sentex.net > Providing Internet services since 1994 www.sentex.net > Cambridge, Ontario Canada
