I have 3 or more Freez every day with zen kernel or normal arch kernel, I have tried different linux (arch, debian, fedora, opensuse, mint), different DE (kde, cinnamon,gnome), different kernels (old LTS, current LTS, 6.2, 6.3RC, zen, arch base kernel) but is still teh same, 3 or more freez a day. Now with Xanmod after 1 week that was good enought there was a first freez, so with Xanmod issue seems mitigated but not solved.
Freez happens 90% when watching streaming on the web, but 10% happens when made some basic stuff as open a file or syncing files, and when it happens no touchpad, no keyboard workin, I can only restart using power button.
I think Linux= kernel + litlle other things so I think is kernel related, my huawei matebook 14 AMD with a Ryzen Zen+ Cpu is not 100% linux ready.
What's is the problem? why my linux not been stable enought?
Thanks
This is the log after restart

It sounds like a hardware issue, but there is not enough information to say for sure.

Make sure your BIOS is up to date, and test your RAM with Memtest86+ or similar. If you must go deeper:

thanks, the problem is that my BIOS is updated but last version by Huawei was in 2020 so is abandoned hardware.
Logs doen't helps or I was not able to find issue into the log.
I will try some Grub parameter to see if can help with my zen+ SoC that not support AMD p-state (ready for Zen2 or new SoC)
If I have only 1 freez a week using Xanmod kernel will be good and stable enought, or I will try
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="vga=current ivrs_ioapic[4]=00:14.0 ivrs_ioapic[5]=00:00.2 iommu=pt idle=nomwait acpi_backlight=vendor acpi_enforce_resources=lax scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=1" as suggested for my Matebook on the web
thanks

What Bluish said, especially running long memtest.

Also, Did you do any tuning via powertop? I've seen that hang systems sometimes if some elements are tuned and others not. One test to try is load into a kernel you know hangs badly, run sudo powertop --auto-tune and see if it make a difference. If the system crashes like normal you can rule out this line. Another would be to disable all power-saving tweaks (auto-cpu for example) if you have them enabled.

No powertop on my system and no powersaving or performance tweak enabled on Garuda.
When I was in dualboot there was no freez using windows so I think there aren't memory issue but I will check for hw issue.
Probably old bios not updated by vendor in addiction to zen+ SoC not well supported in kernel (new zen2-3-4 SoC are well supported instead) is the guilty
Thanks
