My framework laptop 16 CPU clock seems to be stuck at 0.55 GHz in some scenarios after I use the computer when it entered sleep mode. The current situations I’ve found to trigger it are playing helldivers 2, opening the search menu in windows, and being on a zoom call. If I restart the computer everything is fine, but it is quite annoying because I like the convivence of shutting the lid to put the laptop to sleep to save battery, but then I open it and it is incredibly slow. Also, this doesn’t change if I plug the laptop in or not or if power saving mode is on or off. My temps are also pretty normal.
it looks like something went wrong with updating driver page. there is still link to bios 3.05, but page mentions fixed from 3.06. If I copy link and replace 3.05 with 3.6 then I’m able to download the latest bios
I have just tried both 3.05 and 3.06. On 3.05 I did not notice any difference, however, even more interestingly, on 3.06 the clock speed would do that same thing ranging from 2.10-2.18(ish) GHz. I made sure none of my power/performance settings changed in the update (they didn’t), made sure I didn’t have energy saver enabled and connected to external power, and tested with helldivers 2 (if you’re unfamiliar with the game it is very intensive). It was a little funny seeing higher clock speeds on google chrome lol.
Just noticed the CPU heading down to 0.55 again while using stream deck, although I am not 100% sure stream deck was tied to it. I quit every application I could think of (including background tasks) booted helldivers 2, and still ran at 0.55 GHz.
Another strange thing I started noticing happening is that my RGB macropad doesn’t light up after the computer has gone to sleep, even if I try using the keys to adjust the brightness, change effects, or turn RGB on and off. Upon taking it out and inserting it again it immediately resumes normal function (also works if the trackpad is taken out and put back in).
I’m experiencing the same issue but doesn’t even seem to coincide with sleep mode. Just unplugging and plugging back the power can cause this to happen. Especially while playing a game.
Is there a work around yet? Sometimes toggling power can fix it but often I need to fully reboot.
Hi All, I recently just began experiences many of these same occurrences. Full reboot doesn’t seem to be quite working for me as well as this no longer seems to coincide with sleep mode.
I’ve been talking to Framework customer support and they believe that the issues lies in the windows system. They are recommending I try a clean install using their guide on a spare SSD. I was just able to get my hands on one, but it is going to be a bit before I can do it as I have files I need to backup first. If anyone is able to give this a test too I would appreciate that.
Hm, now that I think about it this issue did start occurring when I got the dGPU. As well as I installed windows without the dGPU so maybe that messed smth up??
I have the same or at least a very similar problem on Ubuntu.
After waking it from sleep, my CPU’s are often stuck at the range of 800 - 1200 Mhz clock speeds.

Hardware Model: Framework Laptop 16 AMD Ryzen 7040 Series
Framework just released a new beta firmware update that seems to address this very issue. “Fixed the issue where the CPU was stuck at 545MHz after the system resumed from sleep.”
