  • I have a Ryzen 3700x that had similar problems. In my case disabling Precision Boost Overdrive and regular Precision Boost eliminated the crashes. PB being just the regular boosting behavior of the CPU. With it turned off the CPU basically only adjusts its frequency between the idle frequency of like 800 MHz to the base clock (3.6 GHz or whatever).

    I think basically what happened was the BIOS was running the CPU too hot and eventually it just couldn’t stably boost to the higher frequencies which would cause problems. It’s an easy thing to try and see if it works for you. In my case I was able to salvage the CPU by putting it into a server whose workload doesn’t benefit from moment to moment super high CPU clock speeds.
