I freshly built a new PC and make dual boot with an Ubuntu 20.04. Im having trouble with ryzen 3950x, htop and system monitor didn't recognize cpu (instead of 32 shows 1 thread). I must start it with acpi=off because ubuntu wont starts. Is it a problem with compatibility? My BIOS was updated at the time of building the pc (3 weeks ago, B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2 (rev. 1.0)) Can you help me with wrong number of threads in htop/system monitor

Im confused

ACPI

acpi=off will break a lot of things. Any specifics on why this is necessary?

Although it's kind of old, you might look at this.

Is your CPU overclocked, or memory XMP enabled?

Also, try Ubuntu 20.10 and see if it works without acpi=off.

BIOS

B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2 (rev. 1.0)

You have BIOS version F10.

There's a newer BIOS available, version F11d, dated 10/29/2020, and can be downloaded here.

Note: Confirm that I have the correct web page for your motherboard model #.

Note: Have good backups before updating the BIOS.

memory

AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 16-Core Processor

Ryzen processors are notorious for memory compatibility issues.

Look at the CPU Support List to determine your CPU family). (Matisse)

Look at the Memory Support List and download the Matisse .pdf to confirm that your memory is listed.

Go to https://www.memtest86.com/ and download/run their free memtest to test your memory. Get at least one complete pass of all the 4/4 tests to confirm good memory. This WILL take many hours to complete on 64G.
