A while ago I build a new Ryzen 3000 PC with a Vega 56 GPU. For month now my PC is freezing randomly. With freezing I mean nothing works anymore, no virtual consol, no ping, no kernel sysreq. Have to do a hw reset. And there is never an error in the kernel log.
I tried everything I could find on the internet (BIOS changes, Kernel Boot options etc.) but nothing helps. Even the RAM is currently on the low default clock.
The main problem is, I can't reproduce it. But it happens always when a game is running. It never happens when I watch videos for example. So I don't think this is the C6 state problem. Even games with a low CPU and GPU usage, so it is not related to a high power usage.
About 2 weeks ago I watched a video from AdoreTV and he sad that this happens on Windows too. Because I thought that is a Linux problem I never looked into Windows related search results :(
However, the Windows problem is related to the Vega and Navi GPUs, not the Ryzen CPU.
I really hate so say that, but I'm very close to buy a NVidia (2060super) card. If this problem does not go away very soon I might even give up gaming on the PC. (Which is a bit of a pity with at least 30 not played games on steam, but I already found a new hobby, building Lego-kind sets, and I'm 53.)
Anyway, I think my question at the moment is not so much about how to fix the problem, although I might try if someone has an idea, but is there any known issue with a RTX 2060 super on linux at the moment? Don't want to spend over €450,- when there are other big problems.
Currently running Manjaro unstable? with the 5.5.7 kernel.
Thanks for reading this,
Bye

I tried this, there is no connection possible, even a ping is not working anymore.
For some testing I let a a little script read out the current GPU state from /sys directory and let it shown on the other computer every second. When the gaming PC stop working, the update stops too.
Btw, the other computer is a DELL laptop with a pentium 3M, with 512MB RAM, 64GB PATA-SSD and runs Mint with an i3 WM. (Thought that a little bit funny to mention.)

I would ask on the mesa issues page for help.
EDIT
Give us something to read. Start a game and then post the contents of dmesg.
Tell us about your graphics stack. I don't have manjaro. What version of mesa?
What version of libdrm? How about the contents of /var/log/Xorg0.log? Do you
use ACO as your shader compiler?

I'm not sure how much part of the driver is in mesa (at least the 3D part). Can mesa even crash the kernel? But it is worth at to look there. I can't recall that any mesa related came up by my google search.
Thanks

(But keep in mind the problem is there for month now and the first entries I found during google serach are over 2 years old.)
Mesa 20.0.1
libdrm 2.4.100
ACO I don't think. The only package I found (mesa-aco) is not installed. I guess it's LLVM then?
The kernel mode line: oops=panic udev.log_priority=3 audit=0 amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff amdgpu.vm_debug=1 amdgpu.gpu_recovery=1 processor.max_cstate=3 rcu_nocbs=all
The Xorg log is long to post it here, but mostly Modelines from AMDGPU. Nothing unusual I would say.
This log has to go to the laptop too.
This look a little bit odd. At the end of the Xorg log is this:

Repeated 3 times with different time stamps.
Searching the mesa issue side I found this: Random crash on amdgpu due to temperature missrepoorting
Sounds interesting. I will try what he/she wrote to log this.
Thanks.

Also consider posting dmesg and the Xorg log and use the spoiler tags. I get those modelines as well.

I have an old GTX970 I tried. Because the freezing is not reproducible, and the RTX 2060 has certainly a different driver I can't tell with the old card if the RTX will work or not. I used the GTX970 for a couple of years in my old Intel based PC with Linux Mint and Arch Linux and never run into this kind of problems. And I don't nobody with an RTX card.
@sr_ls_boy
I tried what was suggested in the comment 23 and set the GALLIUM_DDEBUG. Played some games yesterday and let some games run in demo mode. But the PC never froze. Not sure if the problem solved itself or not. There is one difference, I'm running the 5.5.8 kernel now (came with a Manjaro update) and according to the kernel change log there are some things fixed in the AMDGPU driver.
The comment 23 suggested to run this commands if the error occurs:
sudo umr -lb > umr_dumpsudo umr -O verbose,use_colour -R gfx[.] >> umr_dump
sudo umr -O halt_waves,use_colour -wa >> umr_dump
I tried this and the 2nd one instantly reboots my PC. (This commands are not working with zsh by the way.)
However, I don't now how to run this when the PC is frozen.
I'm still not so sure this is a driver problem. I mean the Windows driver is based on an other source code. I'm not sure but I think the driver developer for Windows and Linux are two different teams.
I will post more, if I have more info on this. Not sure how many people with an AMD Vega card are reading this post and have the same problems. According to a poll from Hardware Unboxed Can We Still Recommend Radeon GPUs? there are about 19% AMD GPU users with problems.
I forgot to post the link to Still Something Wrong At Radeon from AdroedTV.
Thanks for your help.
