Comment 623 for bug 1690085

Well, it's a pity to know 5.0 might not fix it. I was really hoping it would. On the other hand, it's good to know so many other people have this issue, which means I'm not alone in hoping it'll be at some point fixed.

I'll just throw my two cents in though, to hopefully help.

Firstly, technical info. My computer is (I'm pretty sure) a HP 15-DB0125, with Ryzen 5 2500U and Vega 8 graphics. I've applied a bunch of fixed I've found online (mainly the Zen script and grub options), and while I still get freezes, they happen much more rarely, particularly if I shut down my computer when I'm not using it and after heavy activities. I haven't tried idle=halt yet, though

Anyhow. To the part I don't think has been mentioned.

I've noticed games running on Wine/Proton make my computer very much more likely to freeze. Neverwinter (which should be the lightest, I assume), for example, will crash after a few minutes. Warframe will crash after maybe half an hour. Counterstrike: Global Offensive? That game, which runs natively, can be played for a comfortable amount of time (maybe 1-2+ hours?) without risking any freezes. Which is a shame, really, because I'm being locked out of playing Wine-enabled games until Linux and Ryzen fix their dysfunctional relationship.
