    Hello. I think I may have the same problem - but the thread is long and I have not assimilated all of it. My problem is that LibreOffice Impress causes a really hard hang when using an HDMI external monitor. (I reported that problem [here](https://community.frame.work/t/fw13-amd-ui-freeze/64555/7) on this board. I have worked around the problem with a kernel boot switch.)     Cf. also [this problem](https://community.frame.work/t/framework-laptop-13-ryzen-7040-bios-3-16-release-stable/73325/64), different but again involved with external monitors, and apparently caused by interaction between the kernel (well, some versions of it) and the very latest AMD F13 BIOS (which I have yet to install). --- _[View the full topic](https://community.frame.work/t/amd-gpu-mes-timeouts-causing-system-hangs-on-framework-laptop-13-amd-ai-300-series/71364)._
