    I had the same thing happen literally yesterday. I was building yuzu-git-canary from the AUR (cpu at 100%) and the machine just reset part-way through.
    I don't know what temp I was running, but I have water cooling.
    Asus X470 Crosshair Hero VII (Wi-Fi) with a 3700X.

    It's been stable playing DXVK games.

    RAM can certainly be an issue. I started out using 16 GB of HyperX 3600 on my 3900X. It worked pretty well. But after I installed the latest BIOS with AGESA ABB it started to fail with weird RAM errors during heavy compile workloads like Android AOSP image builds and big Rust compiles.

    It didn't matter since the ECC RAM that I'd ordered arrived around then and I haven't had a single problem since. But it isn't running at 3600 either.

    numacross - The impression I get re OC on Ryzen (mostly from testing by GN et al) is that there simply isn't much room to begin with, and the chips will take what little there is automatically anyway. So BIOS updates won't meaningfully change that, and short of exotic cooling and a lot of +V not much else will either.

    Total system energy consumed/dissipated for a given benchmark (with a consistent amount of work, like a compilation task, or a video encoding task) would be a very interesting comparison. Does PTS have support for making charts like that, or would it even be necessary? Michael


    IMHO that's more interesting than a chart of smoothed electrical load over time.

    No problem. If you do get errors, you can start removing sticks to identify which one(s) are bad. I once had two bad sticks from a kit of four. It really sucks to find out you have a bad stick. That said, it's better to find out sooner than later, since a stick that has a few errors will silently corrupt a lot of data over time as you are doing things, in addition to causing random system crashes.

    As user willmore has said, "I don't trust a machine that hasn't gone through that." memtest86 is the first thing I run after setting up a new rig, usually for a few days, then I run prime95. I also run badblocks and diskscan on any new hard-drive, though diskscan can give false-fails on shingled drives.

    I hope you solve your issue.

    I.e. the one I know is memtest86+: https://www.memtest.org
    Yeah... there's memtest86 and memtest86+, and both are different. The link you provided is good. However, there is also: https://www.memtest86.com/ which supports UEFI.

    Both are fine and work well.

    You just boot into it, and it runs a few patterns over all the RAM. If you get a single error, at least one of your stick is bad. The test is never ending, so run it a few passes (which can take a long time), and if you have 0 errors the problem is elsewhere. Most of my experience is with memtest86+, the link you provided.

    Thank you Michael for these interesting tests.

    Stressapptest is open source: https://github.com/stressapptest/stressapptest

    Is stressapptest enough for that? I run it a few times, and it was fine.
    My personal regimen for breaking in new machines is a day of memtest86+ and then at least one loop through all FFT sizes with prime95. You can optionally do some of the more limited tests which just stress power or L1/L2 cache as they help test power delivery and cooling.

    I don't trust a machine that hasn't gone through that.
