Hello. I've got built a computer, finally, which has the following specs:
- Processor: Intel Core i7-6700K (stock frequency)
- Motherboard: MSI Z170A GAMING PRO
- Memory: Around 16GB
- Graphics: (didn't install a card yet)
So, I tried to run Linux (kernel 4.6-rt) on it, because Michael posted that motherboard works great under Linux in an article.
It works almost perfectly, but I've been having a real strain: it locks up after a few hours/minutes, and I don't know why.
So I upgraded to Linux 4.8.15-rt, and I didn't get any lockup until next day.
So I disabled rc6, hoping it'd fix the lockup.
Now it doesn't lock up that often, but it still does after 9 to 12 hours...
So I modified this PKGBUILD, and upgraded to 4.9.6-rt, and didn't get any lockups for the first days. However, if I leave a USB hard drive connected, then after I return from bathroom (I usually take ~30 minutes), the system is locked up, with the Ethernet activity light blinking forever, and the fans running quiet.
So I upgraded to 4.9.9-rt, but now it is further unstable, and at a random time, in some days, it locks up
I even enabled to panic on all lockups, but it doesn't even panic. So I returned to 4.9.6-rt.
The kernels I was using were all real-time ones, because I urge having it. I have not tested with a non-realtime one yet.
I am using Arch Linux (using sysvinit) as distribution.
If anyone could help me (especially Michael due to the motherboard), I'd really really appreciate it.
And if this is in the wrong category, please tell me, and I'm going to delete this thread, and move it. Thank you in advance.
