That is really bad luck you are having there.
Fully agreed, I can understand the frustration.

It did that automatically on the Gigabyte board when the BIOS was flashed, haven't changed the BIOS on the Asus board since it was already the latest.
Would be interested if you do. What are your hardware specs? I also would try comparing Ubuntu 18.04 with Fedora or OpenSUSE Tumbleweed - or a comparison of the default Ubuntu with a newer kernel. That is what I will do if I decide to go with a Ryzen build - although, I might just test on Ubuntu 18.04, at first.That is really bad luck you are having there.
I have had a pretty decent experience with my Ryzen build, but I only run Linux in virtualbox. I am tempted to install Ubuntu alongside Windows to see if it has any issues....
I'd maintain that disabling global C-state control is worth a shot, but it's moot if you can't get the memory stable. :/Here are my settings from the "AMD CBS" page in UEFI setup:
Core performance Boost - Disable
Memory Interleaving - None
IOMMU - Auto
Global C-State Control - Enabled
Power Supply Idle Control - Typical Current Idle
Opcache Control - Disabled

The reason(ing)?: some people claim that the 'no problems/issues' occur with distros using more recent kernels - 4.18.8 or later.
Edit: With up-to-date/most recent BIOS version, of course.
g jedec spec Crucial DDR4-2133 CL15 ram? I have a set of that ram, because the first fancy ram I bought just wouldn't fscking work reliably. I also bought some DDR4-3600 CL15 that I'll be throwing in the trash since it's past return date, and doesn't seem to work no matter what settings or how slow it runs. Ev
So I re-installed the Patriot memory to do more testing and decided on memtesting it again just to be sure because of all the other ridiculous problems I've been having.
Sure enough, these modules went bad again. The initial 8 hour memtest when I first got the replacement modules a couple weeks ago passed with no errors.

This is the second set of memory modules I've gotten consecutively which were bad. They're not as bad as the memory in the OP video, but still bad nonetheless.
So far I've had a bad PSU, bad board, bad cpu and four bad memory modules all on a new build. maybe I should go back to buying sketchy ebay parts from Chinese import sellers, I seem to have better luck with those..
I doubt you had that many out-of-the-box bad parts. The statistics on that are unreal. However you probably had one part cause others to fail and chain events after.
Do it via jumper. I am telling you this because it worked for me before.

Any chance one of those PSUs is bad and has been damaging other components or something along those lines? Given the RAM you're using now was in the GB board for a while, could something broken in the GB board's power delivery or config have been damaging RAM? I've had a bad mobo kill multiple CPUs before, though it took a lot longer than that.
]AFAICT all AM4 boards have some kind of issue with a CMOS clear not clearing everything it should, but purports are that Gigabyte AM4 boards are the only ones that have janky enough firmware to turn it into a real problem. On ASRock, all it really means for me is that when OCing RAM it takes some time at 2133 after a fail and clear before it'll work at 2666+ again. If some RAM drive setting got corrupted on the GB board though, who knows what kind of havoc it could wreak.
The right way to CMOS clear on AM4 AFAICT is to disconnect power, move the jumper and/or disconnect the battery, push the power button a few times, wait 15 minutes, then move the jumper and/or reconnect the battery.

Ubuntu no longer ships with make [...] no way of compiling
If you install the "build-essential" package (in ubuntu main repo), it pulls in make and a few other packages most compile/builds require. You can also use 'apt-get build-dep [package]' (or somesuch) if you're building something that already has a package in the repository, although that may miss some deps if your source is significantly newer or older than the package version.I'm pretty sure you can install 'make' within Ubuntu ... for instance, in openSUSE one would type 'sudo zypper install make' and it'd ask you for the root pw and install make and any dependencies automatically. For Ubuntu, looks like it might be 'sudo apt-get install make'.
Many laptops now don't have an ethernet port....at least, the 'ultra books' or whatever they're called. Why doesn't that guy have an internet connection? Pretty difficult to use any Linux distro without one.Oh I see. This is why I always make sure to buy laptops with an ethernet port.

The chicken-and-egg problem of wifi-only, but needing to compile that wifi driver, but pita sneaker-net required to get gcc toolchain installed apparently.
Get one of those generic USB Ethernet dongles with a Realtek chipset.
Wait, what's the chipset of your laptop?The chicken-and-egg problem of wifi-only, but needing to compile that wifi driver, but pita sneaker-net required to get gcc toolchain installed apparently.

There's also the wifi 'devi' webpage that provides info of which hardware (chipset) works with Linux. Of course, it's best to have a very recent kernel - some of the firmware is built in the kernel - it's best to get a USB wireless adapter with one of those - I think Realtek and Atheros are two in which there is usually decent support for wifi adapters.Get one of those generic USB Ethernet dongles with a Realtek chipset.
I remember reading about broadcom in Linux, previously, but people were always having trouble with them. There were articles in which Broadcom was announcing new 'Linux support' and 'open sourcing' drivers etc. etc. but even now, there is very little to read about success regarding Broadcom drivers (working) in Linux. I think Broadcom is the major hardware/drivers in recent Mac computers?Probably has a broadcom based WLAN, which never has Linux drivers.
Mechanical failures of the slot? Good thing that one isn't common.I've only had two motherboards kill RAM twice in the past 20 years. The first was an AOpen AK77 Pro-A and the second was a P4P800-E Deluxe, in both cases the memory contacts and the RAM slot burned. I repaired the P4P800-E Deluxe by soldering in a new RAM slot, which was a royal pain and took hours.
I just mentioned it because pretty much everyone (including AMD and mobo manufacturers) seems to leave out the "push the power button a few times" bit. I haven't messed with RAM clocks and needed a clear since I heard of that fix, but the standard procedure definitely misses some stuff on AM4 boards.I know how to clear the CMOS memory lmao, I've been a system builder for nearly 25 years.

Any update? I noticed a pic of a 1500X - are you using the 1st gen Ryzen?
