hey people on the internet, I updated my tumbleweed to 20241002 and since then, the system would randomly freeze and crash, and automatically reboot after a short while. It also happens when waking from suspend. Does this happen to anyone else?

Hey,

No issues from my side so far. Have you tried to rollback to see if it's related to the update? Could also be a hardware error that just happened to occur at the same time as the update.

Thanks for writing! Little update: I rolled it back to an old snapshot, the problem is gone. It really seems to be the update! My guess is a bug in the AMD graphics driver, because there were rare visual artifacts too. I hope they fix it soon!

Glad to hear that a snapshot saved your day. Probably the most usefull feature in TW.

What kind of hardware are you running on?

I had some really weird behavior recently (like a week before this post; in my case, the external display would disconnect), but it got fixed with an update. I've also had weird freezing/crashing issues ever since getting my 1st gen Ryzen (bought at launch; probably a HW issue that I never bothered to RMA), and it can be stable for weeks or months or crash multiple times in a day.

If you can post the HW you have, maybe someone has a similar issue.

thanks for the response, I have a Vega 64 GPU, a MSI B650 motherboard and a Ryzen 7800X3D cpu. It probably is a bug in the AMD driver, there are some reports of similar problems on the opensuse forums. I hope it gets fixed without me having to file a bug report.
