From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Laptop freezing to blank screen (lemmy.nz)

The freezing happen approx once per day, seems more often when connected to my android mobile hotspot (may be unrelated).

"journalctl -p err" gives:

nvme 0000:03:00.0: AER: Error of this Agent is reported first
pcieport 0000:00:02.4: AER: Error of this Agent is reported first

The nvme error, happens approx 10x more often.

I am running a WD_BLACK SN850X 4000GB, Firmware: 624281WD

I tried the WD website to see if there is a FW update, but there are only windows/mac tools and no link directly to the FW (that I could find).

Update: it seems that the updated firmware has solved the issue, I have been running 4 days without a crash. Thanks to @[email protected] for pointing me to the Framework guide.....why is this not on the WD website and easy to find.

Are you using any power saving /power management tools? Maybe check the power settings in there and see if changing the power profile makes any difference.

Also:

Check fwpudmgr for any firmware updates
Try installing a more recent/optimised kernel, such as Xanmod (currently at 6.7.4). If you're getting Xanmod then get the x86-64-v3 variant
Try a different distro, preferably one which has more recent packages. Fedora uBlue has an Asus variant which features an optimised kernel for Asus laptops, so it might be worth checking out.

I am running Slimbook battery, for improvements to battery life. I'll check the power settings to ensure the power state isn't changing randomly.
