Random reboot. Log shows hardware error

Hello. I just joined the forum. I've been using Garuda for like a week now (I've been a Pop OS user before) and I'm really liking it but I've noticed something strange. Sometimes my PC will reboot randomly. Usually when I'm doing tasks that are not very heavy on performance. Never happens during gaming.

Here's the log:

This issue doesn't occur very often but it's not the first time.

The first thing I would check is if you have a BIOS update available.
If not, I would try to change kernel, e g. to linux-lts.
There seem to be several hits on the internet searching for that error, often mentioning freezes and reboots, with no real or clear solution.
Some suggest to use kernel boot parameter mce=off, but in my opinion that would only cover the problem.

Maybe we can temporarily try that parameter anyway.

I would run btop
and see if you are seeing high memory or cpu usage?

Guys, I think I might've found a solution. I was looking up some other forums and I found someone else having the same problem with Manjaro. It turns out it's a Ryzen issue. What I did was I disabled c6. So far the issue has not occured.

As sad as it is, this is a known issue still, and many motherboard manufacturers have disabled the C6 option entirely, such as ASRock, which is what I have. So good find and thanks for reporting the issue and resolution.
