(Get the code!)
I think it might be solved for me by the latest ASRock X370 Gaming K4 firmware.
So, I have an RMA'd Ryzen 1700X, which had this freezing problem since receiving it. The workaround I applied was disabling the C6 state in BIOS, which stopped this. After installing BIOS 4.50 (currently latest) I noticed there's no such option any more so I started using the zenstates script on boot to do this. However, a week ago I was reading more on this issue and the "Power Supply Idle Control" option in the BIOS. So I decided to stop disabling C6 while keeping the option at default (where it should be adaptive) and see how it goes. During this week I tried leaving idle over night, whole day, using as usual, causing sustained high load, etc. and there's been no freezing so far.
Might be just luck of course, but before, with C6 enabled, it would freeze quite reliably even with normal daily usage. Or perhaps it's just a lot less common now.
