Happily typing along and suddenly framework lost power, like instantly just shut off as if pulling the battery. I’m sure it was power off, not screen off, because it went to the default blue lock screen wallpaper after restarting, the power button had no light, and also the Chrome tabs I was typing…

Got my 11th gen (i7-1165G7) framework a few weeks ago, just had my first random poweroff at ~62% battery. Instant shutoff under low cpu load (just browser idle and playing a very low-resource game (dungeon crawl stone soup)). I will run another memtest overnight; first one passed, but memory faults…

I assume you got the DYI version. I had random shutoffs all the time. I got it to stop once I removed 1 of my 2 ram sticks. Your mileage may vary. I suggest contacting customer support.

[image] Stefan_Moran: I also was touching the touchpad when the shutoff happened, and I was not touching the keyboard. I don’t know anything about OpenBSD, but this sounds like a driver issue. Have you looked at the OP’s blog link in the OpenBSD on the Framework Laptop thread, specifically th…

[image] ssu: Are all the relevant drivers loading at boot - pchgpio, iic, dwiic, ihidev, imt? $ dmesg | grep -E '^(pchgpio|iic|dwiic|ihidev|imt)[0-9]' pchgpio0 at acpi0 GPI0 addr 0xfd6e0000/0x10000 0xfd6d0000/0x10000 0xfd6a0000/0x10000 0xfd690000/0x10000 irq 14, 360 pins dwiic0 at pci0 dev 21…

this happened to me yesterday when I was editing a document on the train (on battery). Screen went entirely blank and nothing in event viewer other than “the previous shutdown was unexpected”. This is the first time I’ve seen it happen but I suspect it’s been happening when Windows does the suspend…

[image] dkter: sometimes I will start up my laptop having put it to sleep the day before and none of my programs will be open Was hoping that BIOS 3.09 beta would resolve this but it just happened again.

This is unsettling indeed, I just had this happen to me (First gen, Pop!_Os kernel, 5.18.10-76051810-generic) 95% full battery, not attached to a wall, doing a simple vi on a file. nothing big or load inducing. Only real error in Dmesg: [ 9.832199] kernel: ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not reso…

Topic reviving! Instant power loss while watching something (HDMI → TV and aux cable → amplifier). Batch 5, i5, Fedora 36 KDE (just updated from 35 today). Laptop not plugged into wall, battery at ~65%, no active interaction with keyboard to rest of laptop so no fn keys being pressed. Laptop was…

Going to assume it’s a hardware issue…as the issue wasn’t unexpected graceful system shutdown…but an instant power loss. If that’s the case, then one ‘typically’ likely (read with a pinch of salt) cause is the cells in the battery pack are not as well balanced as they should be (actual charge / cap…

I’ve been experiencing random shut offs since I got my framework laptop a week ago (batch 3 12th gen). While typing it will shutoff instantly. Wakes up as if from hibernate. Some relevant event viewer text below (laptop died in use at 3:25, made sure to wait and turned it on at 3:50). “Button or lid…
