HI BENVISIONS OS, LOPYT NEEDS SUPER DUPER HELP

[tbyunomi]

Ima be honest, OS isnt the best place to go for this kind of help, maybe ask some tech experts

[Crumthecrumb]

Lopyt is the tech expert

[Verti]

by, 'your computer hangs', do you mean that its like a system wide micro stutter/lag. like your computer freezes then unfreezes.

[Lopyt]

The entire computer freezes for a second or two, can't move mouse and even sysrq doesnt work, until after the freeze if it recovers

[Lopyt]

Tried new motherboard, same thing

Tried going from BIOS to UEFI and accidentally deleting all my files, thanks Timeshift for NOT backing up the most important folder

Tried another RAM stick, fully removing the corsair ones, and it so far has fixed the problem. Will update if anything else happens

The first thing I would suspect is the RAM configuration. The fact that running a single stick completely stopped the crashes is a pretty big clue, especially on Ryzen 2000. Mixing a Corsair stick with a random Amazon stick can cause instability even if it boots and passes basic tests.

I would try running only the Corsair RAM (preferably a matched kit) at stock JEDEC settings (2133/2400MHz) and see if the NVIDIA hangs disappear. Also try forcing PCIe to Gen 3 in BIOS instead of Auto, since Ryzen 2000 + B450 + RTX cards can sometimes have PCIe stability issues.

The `NVIDIA: Channel Idle Timed Out` message usually means the GPU stopped responding to the driver, but that can be caused by unstable RAM or PCIe rather than a bad GPU. Since multiple GPUs showed the same behavior, I would look at the platform around the GPU before replacing the CPU.
