Got my 11th gen (i7-1165G7) framework a few weeks ago, just had my first random poweroff at ~62% battery. Instant shutoff under low cpu load (just browser idle and playing a very low-resource game (dungeon crawl stone soup)).
I will run another memtest overnight; first one passed, but memory faults can take several tries to find if they exist.
My operating system is OpenBSD, I have the sysctls machdep.pwraction=0 (do nothing on pressing power button), and machdep.lidaction=1 (suspend on lid close) set, so I doubt it’s anything intended OS side if it is in fact a software bug. Nothing in the syslog that helps, just normal daemon messages and the message for the next boot.
I am also on the latest bios revision (03.07 iirc), I also was touching the touchpad when the shutoff happened, and I was not touching the keyboard. Palms were resting on the palm rest.
I assume you got the DYI version. I had random shutoffs all the time. I got it to stop once I removed 1 of my 2 ram sticks. Your mileage may vary. I suggest contacting customer support.
Are all the relevant drivers loading at boot - pchgpio, iic, dwiic, ihidev, imt? You might compare your dmesg output with this post from the OpenBSD mailing list. If you have:
this happened to me yesterday when I was editing a document on the train (on battery). Screen went entirely blank and nothing in event viewer other than “the previous shutdown was unexpected”.
This is the first time I’ve seen it happen but I suspect it’s been happening when Windows does the suspend-to-hibernate thing, as sometimes I will start up my laptop having put it to sleep the day before and none of my programs will be open. Same situation in Event Viewer.
My config is the i5-1135G7, 1x 8GB RAM, 1TB WD SN750, Windows 10, bios 3.07
Instant power loss while watching something (HDMI → TV and aux cable → amplifier). Batch 5, i5, Fedora 36 KDE (just updated from 35 today). Laptop not plugged into wall, battery at ~65%, no active interaction with keyboard to rest of laptop so no fn keys being pressed. Laptop wasn’t hot to the touch, no fan whirring.
journalctl logs say:

Sep 18 10:57:58 fedora org_kde_powerdevil[2620]: org.kde.powerdevil: Unsatisfied policies, the action has been aborted
...aaaand power loss.
Can’t figure out what powerdevil wanted to do - power settings don’t call for sleep or shutdown or even screen dimming.
Going to assume it’s a hardware issue…as the issue wasn’t unexpected graceful system shutdown…but an instant power loss.
If that’s the case, then one ‘typically’ likely (read with a pinch of salt) cause is the cells in the battery pack are not as well balanced as they should be (actual charge / capacity wise).
What you can typically do is to give the laptop a few charge / discharge cycles just to ‘freshen’ up the pack. Sometimes, that’s all it takes to back the battery pack back onto the happy path. If the issue persists…reach out to support.
I’ve been experiencing random shut offs since I got my framework laptop a week ago (batch 3 12th gen). While typing it will shutoff instantly. Wakes up as if from hibernate. Some relevant event viewer text below (laptop died in use at 3:25, made sure to wait and turned it on at 3:50). “Button or lid” seems to be the reason.

Wow you were right, my chromebook sits right next to my laptop and it has a really strong magnet. If I move my framework close to the laptop the framework will shut off. Thank god its not an actual issue then! Thanks
Another one to add to the list. In my case, it was just sitting there idling with the lid closed for nearly a day.
AC plugged in. 80% battery. No event log messages aside for “The previous system shutdown was unexpected.” No BSOD. No dumps. Nothing. System died as if someone powered it off.
12th Gen DYI - 3rd Batch, but I purchased their memory.
Whatever this is hasn’t been fixed. Using a 12th gen i7-1260P. I was on battery around 85% with a little bit of WebGL going and it instantly powered off mid-keystroke with no logs. I was nowhere near max TDP and had minimal disk usage but notably using the GPU.
I’m running Arch with the beta 3.06 BIOS, so this isn’t a windows-only thing. My power settings are tuned for savings, with some cores turned off when not in use, turbo disabled on battery, etc.
Putting my engineer hat on for a second, I’d guess it is a power management problem for the CPU/GPU package in response to big spiky demand changes. I’ve seen other machines, notably desktop GPUs have brownouts and their VRM regulation algorithms needed tweaks in firmware.
I haven’t been able to replicate the power failure despite trying a bunch of stuff. It did happen from a clean boot, so I’m sure there are no S3 sleep or hibernation effects. I also have hid_sensor_hub blacklisted, and here’s the powertop report on battery showing which power management options are available/enabled/disabled
Hi guys,
I´m using a 13 inch 12th generation laptop with an i5 and RAM and SSD from Framework. In the last few weeks I also have the described problem of crashes with the error message kernel power in the event viewer.
I have already tried a few things to fix the problem (checked BIOS, drivers, changed the power options, removed the expansion cards (only used USB C and USB A)).
Now I’m not an electrical engineer and bought the laptop more as a repair fan and am slowly reaching my limits.
Framework support had also not yet given me a solution. Since the last post here some time ago, is there anything new here to solve the error?
Hi,
i have the same Problems with my 12th gen mainboard and Windows 11. I also tried to fix it with changes in the power settings. But nothing helped so far. please help.
