I haven’t seen anymore slowdowns and I’ve been using my fw daily for the last couple of weeks. Arch linux and all the latest fixes. I don’t know if I’m lucky or just have the right combination of fixes.
I’m on fully updated EndeavourOS but otherwise stock (I haven’t tried to fix it at all, I just reset the gfx card), and I got one this morning.
What various fixes have you implemented?
Nothing outrageous. Powertop auto tune. Latest bios. KDE plasma 6 on Wayland.
I put the laptop to sleep all the time, not hibernate, and it comes back everytime. I only noticed the slow down before plasma 6.2 and I haven’t seen it since.
Whenever the system becomes unresponsive aka slows down I open a terminal and run this to resolve. It closed pretty much everything, returns me to the login screen. I still restart though.
sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/amdgpu_gpu_recover
Just happened again to me on Fedora 41 with the “amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10” already being applied. Didn’t have any video or anything like that running in the foreground or background. Was just doing work on my machine sending emails.
Are you sure it was applied? /sys/module/amdgpu/parameters/dcdebugmask should contain 16.
If you need to recover without closing apps, you can hibernate (suspend to disk) and resume.
Apparently it’s not applied. dcdebugmask shows ‘0’. Can I just change it to ‘16’?? Haven’t ever applied a kernel param before so I clearly didn’t do it correctly 
No, the parameter isn’t writable and must be set when the module is loaded.
Happened to me as well, yesterday, for the first time. I was watching a video on the European Parliament website. Mouse cursor got incredibly slow and sluggish, I managed to shut down the system.

Running Fedora Kinoite 41, with KDE Plasma 6.2.3.
I have the same issue but it only happens when I change Power Mode to something other than Performance. I upgraded from an Intel 11th gen board so maybe there’s some software discrepancy?
I’ve hit this exact same issue too. I’m running Fedora 40 with KDE, I’ve tried booting into all recent kernels (6.10.8, 6.10.12, 6.11.6) to no avail. As soon as I log in, the system grinds to a halt. I opened up the system monitor I’m seeing RAM usage go to max, at which point it freezes.
I’ve been meaning to update but I’ve installed AMD’s graphics drivers for Linux and haven’t had an issue since. More specifically I downloaded the .rpm file for AMD Radeon Graphics (not pro).
Let me know if that fixes things for you as well!
Thank you, but I forgot to mention that this is happening to me on an Intel Framework.
ha! Yes I suppose AMD drivers would have very limited impact on an Intel chipset. Having all your RAM being consumed certainly sounds strange, I’m a bit out of my depth but I hope you find a solution to your problem.
I figured out what was going on, and it was totally unrelated. A lot of containers were running at start up and exhausting all of the memory. This was only noticeable when I had to remove one of the memory chips on the laptop because of an issue.
Glad you found the issue! and relieved to know I won’t be randomly running out of memory anytime soon.
I’ll also throw my specs into the ring here. Same issues and mine always seems triggered by quick scrubbing during video playback (specifically jumping time using the arrows). I also usually have 100 tabs open, so I just wrote it off as a memory issue.

Update from the same conf: it happens more and more often, and not only when watching videos. Happy to run tests and gather logs if needed.
After you edit the grub file ( sudo nano /etc/default/grub) you need to update grub.
Grub file location:
/etc/default/grub
- Find the line with
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" - Inside the last double-quote, add your Linux kernel boot parameters and/or Module-level parameters.
- I’m using: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=“rhgb quiet amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10”
- Update Grub
Update grub using the below commands:
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2.cfg
Followed by
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2-efi.cfg
Reboot

Same. It happens too frequently, on my Ubuntu machine, and my partner’s Manjaro/Windows machine. Haven’t caught it happening in Windows yet, and probably won’t spend enough time to, but it happens to my machine about once every ~30 hours of system uptime. Once it happens, it does not recover. This is in gnome.
