The revision

https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/x86/x86/cpu_machdep.c?r1=336763&r2=336762&pathrev=336763

works around the mwait issue, i.e. it sets

sysctl machdep.idle_mwait=0
sysctl machdep.idle=hlt

Now it may or may not relate to your problem, but it appears that
Ryzen 2400G also has another issue with HLT, see the DragonFly bug
report

https://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/3131

which AMD is aware of and is possibly working on, but it may not have
appeared in the errata yet. The bug report says that until this is
fixed, the workaround is to also disable HLT in cpu_idle. I am not
sure what is the correct value for the sysctl on FreeBSD, perhaps

sysctl machdep.idle=0

or some other value?

Cheers
