Thanks for the info.

That's a bummer, I was becoming convinced that C6 was at the core of the issue.

For reference, since 2 months I am executing these commands at every startup:

python zenstates.py --c6-disable
python zenstates.py --disable -p0
python zenstates.py --disable -p1
python zenstates.py --disable -p2

And I haven't had a single issue so far. I will start experimenting leaving C6 on and disabling only the P states, just to see what happens. Still waiting for the next BIOS update for my motherboard, and then it's almost time for the release of Ryzen 2...
