Two days ago I upgraded my cpu from an amd R7 3700X to an amd r7 5700x. Shortly after upgrading the cpu, I started noticing numerous issues with my system including my internet browser crashing every 5 minutes, discord losing internet access, my internet browser not being able to load web pages, commands entered into the terminal would hang indefinitely, using KDE's log out functionality and logging back in would result in an indefinite black screen with no desktop, KDEs restart and shut down commands did not fully shut down and power off the system, they would shut it down enough that the monitors would detect no signal but it would remain powered on indefinitely (and wouldn't restart when the restart function was used). The stability issues were so widespread and so frequent I had to fully shut down using the physical power button and reboot every 15 minutes or so and couldn't effectively troubleshoot anything because even attempting to access log files would cause it to break badly enough to reboot.
For a while I thought the stability issues may have been due to some software changes (I tried to install cachyOS repo and kernels but had issues with linux-cachyos not being installed in the correct location) I made after upgrading the CPU, I have since reverted to an earlier snapshot so the software is unlikely the case, but my efforts to troubleshoot the software led to me trying out a different kernel. I installed the linux-amd kernel and switched over to that kernel, and have been running it for a full day with none of the issues I was experiencing on the stock linux-zen kernel.
I am using the same motherboard as I was using before, the BIOS was updated to the latest revision, which has support for the 5800x3d, a week prior to the cpu upgrade and I experienced no issues between then and installing the new cpu.
I suspected that there is something architecture specific that is off in my install of linux-zen considering that the 5800x3d has been out for a few months and I am not seeing any other stability issues related to a 5800x3d on the garuda forums, so I tried reinstalling with sudo pacman -S linux-zen linux-zen-headers followed by sudo update-grub, but rebooting into the linux-zen kernel after doing that brought back the stability issues. Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve the issues with my zen kernel?
