Resuming from hibernate goes to login or sometimes hangs

[Greg]

Resuming from hibernate was working well except for been slow. All of a sudden in the last few weeks of Mint 18.3 it is resuming like a boot to user login or sometimes it hangs.
I made sure the swap partition was active and did these commands to be really sure it would try to resume from the hibernate image:
sudo xed /etc/fstab to make sure the uuid of swap partition was in fstab,
sudo xed /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume to make sure it was also in to resume file,
sudo update-initramfs -u,
None of this helped. To reproduce:
1. In linux mint 18.3 click on hibernate from menu, shutdown the computer.
2. Once computer is inactive I wait about 30 seconds but it does not matter how long then press either the computer power button or wake on my keyboard.
Result: it varies a bit. Sometimes it seems to be reading the hibernate image saved on the swap partition then at the end switches to as normal boot to user login. Sometimes it will hang with a backtrace on the screen.
When this started to happen I had reseated one of the memory modules for proper dual channel support but not certain if this was the cause. According to ASUS PRIME B350M-A mainboard manual (did seen unclear to me) for dual channel and two modules module 1 goes in A1 and module 2 goes in B1. Before I had them in A1 and A2. I did not seem to have a resume from hibernate problem then. Resume from suspend always works properly.

Here is a syslog file. On the date of this syslog (Dec 7) I had resumed from hibernate, let the system go to suspend after 1 hour time inactivity, reformatted a backup partition (sda3) from btrfs to ext4, tried another hibernate and resume, no success. It contains some relevant information especially where it reads "cut here" in two places.

[Greg (cebif)]

In my last comment I should have wrote "cut here" in twenty two places.

Another screen photo of a similar but more detail back trace when resuming first time this morning from overnight hibernate.

It is the speed of the memory modules that is causing resume from hibernate problem. I had them clocked at 2.933GHZ (design speed is 3.2GHZ). I put the speed down to 2.8GHZ. Now with two resume from hibernate tests, worked well. First test was just the OS and desktop running. Second test was with the flight sim X-Plane 11 running and using a high amount of memory. It resumed alright but quite slow.
Before clocking down the memory, I had done a memtest on it running for 4 hours +. There were no errors running at 2.933GHZ. I used to notice some small other problems with it at that speed, like on restart, the computer would sometimes pause or partially freeze after closing all the OS down but pausing at the UEFI screen, although the screen stayed black. If I did ctrl alt delete it would power on self test beep then continue to restart properly. Another thing that sometimes happened when the computer was shut down for quite a long time, on start it would nearly reach the UEFI screen then momentarily shutdown about 3 times in a row. Finally on fourth start it succeeded.
So I'm not certain if this might be more of a bug with the UEFI BIOS. Not Mint 18.3.
