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.
