Could be [this known `amdgpu` display driver issue](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/4141). See issue description there, do you see that error in your system’s journal/log at the time of the crashes? There’s a workaround, adding `amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10` to the kernel command line. In Fedora that’s done with:

`sudo grubby --args="amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10" --update-kernel=ALL`
