My story is as follows, I bought this MB a week ago, of course I didn't check the forums about this MB prior to purchase.
Only when it started hanging I started to realise my mistake :) I had particulary easy to hang it, just run Fallout4... Otherwise it hanged here and there, it was a matter of hours not days.

BUT, I flashed beta bios 4.82 and freeze has gone. It does not freeze anymore, at least not while gaming 6hrs in a row for 5days now.

It has 2400G APU and AData XPG 1x8GB (slot A2) memory running at 2933/3066, video card is nVidia 1050, not using Vega yet, will test it down the road.
Only thing that is not working - IOMMU, can't even boot with it enabled.

Ahh, I forgot to mention, it runs linux exlusively.

Hmmmm.

1.Have you upgraded your firmware 3.40 at least?
2.Your cable, your hardware may have defects which people usually ignore. 
3.Have you tried new drivers?
4.Hardware Overheat?

I personally have faced something like yours After Installed NVMe, Almost one hang one day.

First of all, Why down after half day, Is Power issues, Perhaps yes as The power has been using more than two years. So I tested very carefully before I end up with a new 650W DC level thing which says you only need at most 720W AC for the DC loading. 

After replacing the power, it comes with another thing which forces me to pull of HDDs to look further as the power is new.  It seems the Kingston A1000 is doing no good , refusing writing anymore so I use clonezilla to clone the area to a 240GB SATA3 SSD to see if there are more funny things.

If SATA3 (cables are good) cannot withstand, then I am unlucky.

I believe you better check cables first as most issues are cable releated. Also Please upgrade firmware to 3.40 at least.

May I ask you which storage device you have been using? 

Last time, I have found the damned is caused by NVMe.

Man obviously i first upgraded to 3.40 and then to 4.70 and then to newest bets bios didnt help.
I tried differet sata cables and different hdd.
I updated all drivers to newest ones.
Hardwer didnt overheat gpu max temp was 36, max cpu temp was 43.
If psu was problem pc would have volt drops witch pc didnt have i was measuring volts with multimeter and i had stable 12 volts.
And you can look on newegg or amazon 35% reviews are one star and in those reviews all people have same issue with freezing.

Can you give it a try without the discreet? I think the board cann't handle all voltage peaking (cpu + igpu) @ NB.

Ok COF1, it's important that the do the test using Zen APU (not Zen cpu without igfx, or A-Series APU).

The board may not be in fact faulty (it's very possible that run smoothly using a A9600 for example), but can not still running more than a while using a zen + vega apu. 60/120 minutes at idle and the freezes comes.

At the store may not sold more of this mobo model to use with zen apus. Better for everybody.

Hope you enjoy the processor on a working MB soon, are really nice.

First time that i sent mb to them to test they didnt accept rma so i bult pc again and pc worked normaly for whole day and next day pc started crashing again. So that means that mb will work normaly when doesnt have power for some days. So i think that that mb will crash on any cpu.
