I don't know, but maybe if it's stable now you should stick with your current configuration.

Since the 2200G is the APU chip, which has built in graphics I think I may have experienced amdgpu and cpu-related issues (which this bug seems to be more related to), so I've needed a combination (new UEFI and amdgpu firmware) to get it stable.
