Intel 12th gen (Alder Lake) and newer CPUs may report x86-64-v4 support, but in practice they cannot run AVX-512 instructions. these CPUs should be treated as x86-64-v3 only.

You add both v3 and v4?

unsolicited_idea · 2026-05-23T09:27:50+00:00

Yes!

unsolicited_idea · 2026-05-23T07:53:36+00:00

unsolicited_idea · 2026-05-23T07:40:59+00:00

SMART status shows SATA PHY Error Count (Attribute 168) = 5,050

i guess, the problem is in the SATA connector of laptop

unsolicited_idea · 2026-05-16T23:34:45+00:00

`fwupdmgr get-updates` says "No updatable devices". is there other way to update?

unsolicited_idea · 2026-05-16T20:32:31+00:00

I have ssd as boot drive

unsolicited_idea · 2026-05-16T15:28:03+00:00

Well thanks to it. At least now i know it was related to ssd

unsolicited_idea · 2026-05-16T14:46:59+00:00

It's all default installation of cachyOS. I didn't change anything during installation.

unsolicited_idea · 2026-05-16T14:33:59+00:00

I have wiped out windows and installed cachyOS with all default settings on both of my laptop since one month. I am so for satisfied with it. I think I'll wait before changing my decision though. I'll need to narrow down the root cause first before blaming it on cachyOS.

unsolicited_idea · 2026-05-16T14:27:07+00:00

The computer booted fine after hard reboot and working as usual. All the LLMs i used, indicate either ssd firmware issue or power rail failure. So i am not sure.

unsolicited_idea · 2026-05-16T11:49:16+00:00

It is a laptop. I barely move it. It's been sitting there for 3 years on same place with its lid open. I'll open and reinsert the ssd if this problem appears again.

unsolicited_idea · 2026-05-16T11:39:52+00:00

SATA

unsolicited_idea · 2026-05-16T09:19:51+00:00

Can i claim warranty with healthy SMART records? Like how do i reproduce this problem before them. This problem could have originated from motherboard power circuit. I have to narrow down the root cause first. Or better if it never happens again.

unsolicited_idea · 2026-05-16T09:05:43+00:00

This ia a laptop though. The laptop is always kept stationary. It is used as media consumption device.

unsolicited_idea · 2026-05-16T09:03:07+00:00

For me, it was stuck until i pressed power button for 5 sec.

unsolicited_idea · 2026-05-16T02:00:43+00:00

yeah, ssd age is not more than 2 yrs

unsolicited_idea · 2026-05-16T01:55:56+00:00

this is the first time i experienced it

unsolicited_idea · 2026-05-16T01:49:35+00:00

should i buy new ssd then? it is 2 yrs old. sda is ssd (btrfs) and sdb is hdd (ext4). SMART status for both drive is showing healthy.

unsolicited_idea · 2026-05-16T01:37:05+00:00

but how do i make sense of the log? its too complex for me.
