If you get a chance to try linux again, another tweak would be to add to the kernel boot command line: idle=nomwait processor.max_cstate=1

The simple way to do it is to edit /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and include the above two options on the linuxefi line.

My machine is a work machine as well, so I'm not entirely sure whether both incantations are needed; I'm not about to fool with it since I'm 100% stable now for days at a time. (Haven't gone longer since I end up rebooting for other reasons.)

Yea I know Linux is much superior, but since this machine is my main work machine I needed to get it working asap or then its costing me time and money. I loved delving and learning more about Linux. But I will be definitely going back at some point. Maybe when 19.10 is released ill jump back over and by a second drive to dual boot and fully dedicate to Linux. Trust me I loved it didn't give it up because I didn't like it. I just didn't have time to continue fiddling and learning to stabilize my build to were I needed it for work.

It's sad that you quit Linux that quickly, without even running a dmesg command.

Linux has vastly superior troublshooting and tinkering capabilities compared to Win. With enough googling one can solve the craziest of issues.

It's also true that non-enterprise distros have hiccups with the latest, cutting-edge, non-enterprise HW. This usually gets fixed in time.

P.S. You can always dual-boot.

So it might be an incompatibility issue if not a driver issue with the mobo, I said F this I'm going to reinstall windows and run test.

After updating the bios to 3.30 it resent the c state setting and it did hang on my first test. I turned it off ran the same test and seems to be fine now. Sucks that I had to go back to windows to do this but I really just need to computer running normal again.

Really enjoyed Linux and hopefully one day I can switch back over completely.

I'll report in more once I have thoroughly tested the new update and settings if any hangs happen again.

so I did disable the global C states and the hangs are still happening tested it in a game and in 3d software, almost thought it was fixed because in the game I was able to play 1 match with out hang, it was better but not solved.

Thanks guys for the replies as far as the build goes.

CPU - ryzen 7 2700
Gpu - Nvidia gtx 1070
Ram - 32 gb
Mobo - b450 itx/ac

Distro I am using is ubuntu studio 19.04
Kernel 5.0

As far as the hangs I will get a hard hang everyone once in a while throughout the day but most of it is my software using (blender) will hang but my other apps in the background run okay. It takes any where from 5 - 10 hangs will cause a hard hang to come out.

And what I use the computer for is content creation. 3d modeling, digital sculpting, video editing. I only installed games to test and make sure if it was the gpu or not. But I get hangs in games too.

I hope that answers all your questions. Thank you again for replying and trying to help me out with this.

forgot to add, when it hangs, is it a hard hang where nothing at all is responsive and you have to reset the computer? or can you ping, move mouse, anything? The hang I used to get would even freeze the Dr Debug display on the mobo, disabling the global C states thing fixed it.

Find "Global C States" in the BIOS and disable them, see if that doesn't help.

We'll need more info on the entire build.

We'll need more specifics on the tasks being ran, OS version, kernel build/patches/etc.

You can also check dmesg and monitor the temps/voltages to see if there is a correlation to the crashes.
