Are all your fans working?  Frozen fans on video
cards are a YUGE cause of freeze ups.

It's a brand new Radeon 7750 card. I have not closely inspected its tiny fan, but everything's quiet on that front. The system hangs when it's idle, pretty much overnight. I keep the system doing nothing, and it freezes up randomly every 3-10 days. The video is frozen, no pings from the network, etc…

It's either this card, the Ryzen 3950X CPU, or the Gigabyte motherboard. I think I can exclude the RAM, I tried running with alternating two of the four RAM sticks, and it still hangs. I got a cheap Ryzen 3 CPU and now swapped the CPU, waiting to see what happens.

I need to prove this to my own satisfaction, but it has to be the crap Gigabyte motherboard. I should get a cheap Radeon 5450 card today, and after swapping that only the motherboard is left as the common denominator.

Their site shows Gigabyte pushing out BIOS updates every two months, on average. I just saw that they have a new one, since I loaded the latest one at the start of all this. Why? Why do you need BIOS updates six times a year? This is not a sign of a mature product.

How about <ctrl><alt><f2> or a <ctrl><alt><f3>

To get back out, do a
     <ctrl><alt><f1> or a <ctrl><alt><f2>

What shows on the monitor when it freezes?

No, everything's frozen, no response. It usually hangs overnight, with the monitor sleeping. No response from the keyboard, no pings from the network. The only thing to do is to hit reset and reboot.

Nothing gets logged in syslog. journalctl shows the normal noise, then dead silence.
