Try to update your firmware first Rich<br>

From my understanding, freezing when idle is something that can be solved with software (updating firmware or passing kernel boot options like rcu_nocbs), but the segfault bug was in the hardware itself and AMD was replacing the affected hardware free of charge.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Jeremy</div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
