Confirming this issue, Ryzen 2500U on HP Notebook 15-db0229ur.
- Disabling C-State C6 partially solves the problem
- Latest BIOS from manufacturer (F.11 Rev.A) - unable to access any of advanced settings!

Are maintainers even aware of this?

Also bug here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1562530

Disabling C6 states is not a fix it really. It's C6 idle state still, disabling it increases power consumption of CPU at least by 80% in idle state. This is certainly a kernel issue. Random freezes are random, they cause massive data loss as all you can do is to force reboot the laptop. Disabling FS cache isn't a solution either as this will kill your drive faster.
