From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

CPU errors? (feddit.nl)

I'm trying a new CPU in my PC (Ryzen 5500GT) and I'm seeing:

  • Sporadic kernel panics during boot.
  • Random .ko.zst module files (different one each boot) complaining that ZST decompression failed checksum.
  • Random .so's failing to find a symbol and causing programs to crash/fail to start.
  • Started a stress-ng sequential session at 5s per stressor and it hung up after a dozen stressors. Couldn't ctrl-c it and also ps didn't work anymore. 😅

Funny thing is, other than that the system runs fine (when it boots, that is).

Switched back to my old CPU (that's the only change in the machine) and all of these things stopped.

That CPU that's doing that is defective, correct? Just double-checking I'm not missing anything else.

I've reset BIOS between CPU swaps and left it at defaults. Could default settings cause a CPU to act like this?

Edit: cooling is good, all temps (chipset, CPU etc.) are in the 30's C in idle, CPU went up to 75C when stressed. Have a tower cooler (Scythe Kotetsu) with a 120mm fan.

I'm also adding some voltage readings I took from sensors while the problematic CPU was installed:

Vcore: 840mV
+3.3V: 3.31V
+12.0V: 12.10V
+5.0V: 5.01V
VSOC: 780mV
VDDP: 900mV
DRAM: 1.21V
3VSB: 3.29V
VBAT: 3.26V

Things to try:

  • Update your BIOS, this will likely solve the issue since things are working fine with your prior CPU.
  • If you are running an XMP/EXPO profile, turn it off, as it might be making your system unstable.
  • Memtest. Run it for at least a full cycle (which takes about an hour). If you see more than a single error, then there is something wrong with your RAM.

BIOS is up to date, CPU model explicitly listed as supported, memtest ran fine, not using XMP profiles.
