Had this problem with Ryzen3 3200 CPU (Vega8 integrated) on A320M-DVS R4.0 motherboard.
microcode: CPU: patch_level=0x08108109
microcode: Microcode Update Driver: v2.2.

I had 100% scenario to trigger freeze:
1. play video (in webbrowser or video player, should stay visible(dont hide tab or minimize window))
2. open shadertoy website (any shader, keep it rendering also keep window visible)
3. open any OpenGL or Vulkan application (that use integrated GPU)
4. start pressing fullscreen/un-fullscreen button on shadertoy shader (~5 times is enough to trigger bug, system will slowdown slowly in next 10-20 mins till freeze, just wait(visible on shadertoy FPS counter))
... and freeze

I use this PC for 2 years, every Linux kernel had this "freeze" when used integrated GPU. Current kernel OpenSuse 5.17.4-1-default.
(my solution for all this time was obvious - disable integrated GPU in BIOS and use discrete only, and everything works)

Today I checked motherboard website - https://asrock.com/MB/AMD/A320M-DVS%20R4.0/index.asp#BIOS they have 7.00 and 7.10 BIOS, I was on 4.00 BIOS
So I updated BIOS to 7.00 and 7.10 (now)... and everything works - no freezes anymore.
So it was firmware problem (atleast for me) that fixed by BIOS update.
