It seems that issue also applies to the AMD X3D CPUs, which looks to be the culprit.

Problem with waiting for fix is- it could be in 6-12 months if we lucky, coz they don't have a clue what's causing it

Will this cpu lockup actually damage your computer components? I haven’t played in a while because I was getting tired of having to power off my system during lockups, but, wasn’t sure if there was actual risk to my machine versus annoyance.

Since this post covers the same topic, I'll post what I did in the other thread.

We are still very aware of this and appreciate your extended patience.
