Computer keeps restarting every 12 to 24 hours

The title says most of it, it restarts while im using a browser or anything else or if im outside of the computer. i assumed this was an issue with the kernel and tried to switch from linux-zen to normal linux kernel but it wasnt starting if i did that

Hi there, welcome to the forum!
I edited your post for readability, I hope you don’t mind.
I just wanted to let you know that there was a recent long thread on a similar problem and similar platform, unfortunately with no solution so far. But you may want to give a look at it:

The main tutorial for this kind of problems is here:

BIOS update should be your next step.
It seems to me that there is new version here (please recheck):

Checking the other similar thread, I also found an old and still open kernel bug report. A few of those users managed to fix it with a BIOS update. Unfortunately not the user above:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206903
Be strong and good luck! Often these problems require a lot of dedication, but taking them the right way gives more satisfaction and makes you learn a lot.

i forgot to say but it started happening after i switched to garuda

That is a peculiar result. Did you install the headers?

Do you use “Advanced” in grub?

As in filo’s first link, first generation Ryzens tend to have c-state issues… although they usually cause freezes instead of restarts. In any case, I would try the LTS kernel. One of my machines that has a Ryzen 7 1700 CPU runs much more reliably on LTS kernel compared to either the mainline or zen.

i installed the lts kernel from one of the default software that comes with garuda but as you probably know it just stays on a screen saying its loading the kernel. im launching it on the advanced settings thing that appears when the computers turned on

Try to install with the command line, like so:

garuda-update

Then:

sudo pacman -S linux linux-headers
