From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've experienced random stuff like that in past - not exactly the same though and not that chip.
I'd suspect power issue, either cpu and/or gpu causing a spike that results in some voltage rail to go unstable. More likely GPU, unless your applications are really thrashing all cpu cores.
How old PSU? how much headroom? how good brand of PSU? Might also be a motherboard power management issue.
Also - it might not hurt just to unplug and reseat every power cable.
Please excuse me dropping off the face of the Earth for a few days. Power supply is Corsair 750 W. Linux 6.14.6-109.bazzite.fc42.x86_64 AMD Ryzen 7 9700X (16) @ 5.58 GHz
That PSU sounds good enough to me.
Could be worth a motherboard firmware update?
and i would double check all the power cables.
It looks ike mangohud is an application to monitor stuff. I've never used it but you could give that a go - see if you're ever getting close to the 750W.
Thank you for your reply! I'll check it out. I need to try remounting and double checking cables still, I've just been putting it on the back burner. Oddly enough I experience this problem much less often when using Gnome rather than KDE.
