We purchased a handful of Framework 16 laptops in our company, most are not using them anymore due to repeated issues with stability.

Mine crashes/reboots about once per day, often shortly after undocking from external monitors but sometimes while not doing any specific action. I’ll be switching to a different laptop as I can’t afford to deal with an unstable one.  
I assume my issues are related to the video driver/firmware as the driver seems to crash/reload regularly.

Using Windows 11 Pro, Framework 16 DIY. Recently updated BIOS and VGA drivers (less than 2 months ago). It wasn’t always this bad so maybe older drivers/Windows worked better.

Seems related to:

How many Framework 16 laptops do you think you have in your company?
