TL;DR : I don't have any idea of what is happening. The errors=
 aren't clear and
I didn't find a discrete way of reproducing it and I'm in need of help.

That's exactly the problem... I'm getting crazy about this problem.

I've been trying to understand what is happening for weeks...

So... I'll give you a brief(long) description :

I've been running an RX 580. And then sometimes the system used to freeze l=
ike
this and I was starting to think about the card being problematic.

Then I got an RX 480, and I was planning to sell the RX580.

I compiled a kernel with the polaris binaries and etc... It was going very =
well
until a system upgrade.

Then "here we go again" ... same problems... and now it seems lik=
e RX 480 fails
twice as fast as the RX580 fails.

If you are asking yourself "what kind of failures ?" I'll resume =
it : code 147,
code 146, chrome_dthread libxul.so (for both firefox and chromium), a big c=
all
trace telling about amdgpu blocked for more than 120 seconds. Everything af=
ter
the screen being frozen, ignoring the keyboard and mouse clicks, the only t=

that really works is the mouse cursor moving.

When it happens? After a few minutes running youtube or unigine valley or s=

random time (from minutes to several hours) using an opencl task for exampl=
e.

Then I started to think about the other components...
- RAM ? Checked and running.... if the screen hangs, some ssh tests run fin=

Now the "best" part : running a single GPU leads to the same prob=
lems... :/


I'm not sure about anything right now. I'll try only the 1070 for sometime =
to
guarantee that amdgpu is the only problem here.

I never touched the amdgpu code but it seems to me that either I sell the c=
ards
or I fix it by hand. Because I'm not finding anything related.
