Just had a situation where after resume from standby, the CPU (AMD 7840U) was stuck in a very low-speed state (0.5 GHz) rendering the system extremely sluggish. A reboot resolved the issue but seems indicative of a driver/firmware/BIOS issue. [Screenshot 2023-11-11 122006]

My understanding of this is that many ECs will enact thermal throttling when the power adapter is removed. But most OEM’s EC is a black box and you won’t be able to know what they’re doing without reverse engineering. In the case of Framework’s EC you can see places that throttle_ap() is called to…

I just had the bug. I’m not 100% sure on the state when I suspended. I either unplugged it before or after suspending it. I’m pretty sure I plugged it before resuming. I fixed it by unplugging and plugging the power adapter. This is on Framework 13 AMD - Kubuntu 23.10 - Kernel 6.5.0-1023-oem This…

I just ran into this issue as well and unplugging and plugging the power fixed it for me. I’m on Ubuntu 24.04 with Kernel 6.8.0-45. I see this has been happening for a year and people on earlier versions thought kernel updates would fix things, but that might have just been a placebo unfortunately. …

Just happened to me as well on a Framework 16 (Ryzen 7940). I believe this has been the only time. I recently updated to the 3.05 firmware. I’m not certain about the sequence of events but, like others, it seems to have been related to unplugging power while in suspend. After resuming, cores were s…

Make sure you verify what kernel you are on. For me 6.8.7 fixed it, but your distro kernel might not have the fix.

This also happened to me just now. Same deal, unplugging the power cord while in suspend. Bios 3.05, Kernel 6.12.7-200.fc41.x86_6 on Fedora 41. 7940HS CPU. Rebooting caused the laptop to get stuck at the “Framework” logo which required a hard power off by holding the power button. Came back on just …

This happens to me fairly often; the sequence is always unplug-then-open-lid, and cores end up at either 400MHz or 544MHz. BIOS 3.05, 7840HS CPU, kernel Debian 6.12.17-1 (2025-03-01).

@Kevin_Fleming , does that mean that this is a separate problem to: [1] [2] [image] Framework 16 stuck at 0.55 Ghz after windows sleep mode Community Support Framework just released a new beta firmware update that seems to address this very issue. “Fixed the is…

Here’s a kicker. I just found mine back at 0.55 Ghz again, I said on Framework 16 stuck at 0.55 Ghz after windows sleep mode - #16 by Nathan_Hay that it was resolved, but I just noticed that it solved some scenarios, but some still put it at 0.55.

@Nathan_Hay, I suggest that you (or someone else) report this to github.com/FrameworkComputer/SoftwareFirmwareIssueTracker/issues/new?template=laptop-issue.md if you’re able to, and link the report back here when you have:
