Laptop shuts down during sleep

@freddy How did you disable modern standby & enable S3 legacy sleep? I can maybe try this & see if it solves my problem

@Shubham_Jhawar Did you see my earlier post about the steps I went through? Does it lose power for you when on AC power but with no expansion cards inserted?

I don’t use sleep, it takes 9 seconds to resume on my dual boot (With Ubuntu) which includes selecting which OS and the 2 seconds for Windows to resume from hibernate and that is quick enough. I don’t require an immediate resume.

So some 7 seconds to hibernate and als7 7 seconds for the GRUB2 menu to provide OS selection.

You can mess with S0, S1, S2, S3, S4 etc via regedit.exe the details are on this forum, somewhere. I tried and it was slower and more chaotic than what is currently available.

Sorry for tagging you amoun, I misread!

See my post and then the topic for regedit

@amoun
Thanks for your reply.

@lessthanjoey

No, it does not loose power for me. Hardly 5% battery is drained. What happens is sometime sleep works fine, sometimes it abnormally shutsdown and when I power on the laptop again, all my work is gone. This is the main issue.

@Shubham_Jhawar that’s what I mean. If you have no expansion cards installed and are on AC power does it ever completely die / lose all open apps, etc?

@lessthanjoey

Yes, all the open apps are closed when I again start the laptop. And I have checked in the sleepstudy, it mentions “Abnormal Shutdown”

@Shubham_Jhawar I have found a workaround, which is I think the one most people are using:
Either unplug the laptop before putting it to sleep, or always have the laptop plugged in when you put it to sleep.
To avoid being wasteful, I do wake up the laptop after it’s done charging to be able to unplug it and then put it back to sleep

Has anyone tried the new BIOS beta in an attempt to fix the issue?

I’m now on 3.06 but can’t (yet) say whether or not it has helped, because the shutdown has only happened a couple of times since applying other people’s helpful workarounds.

12th Gen Intel Core BIOS 3.06 Beta

Hi everyone,

We’d like to understand the different configurations being utilized that are experiencing shutdowns while in Windows 11 Sleep.

In this thread, can you please provide the following in this format:

  • Generation of Framework Laptop: (11th or 12th Gen Intel Core)
  • SSD Installed:
  • BIOS version:
  • Happening on AC power, battery, or both:
  • Power adapter used (Framework or other):
  • External peripherals utilized/plugged in (if any):
  • Expansion Cards used in ports:
  • Date of delivery (only if comfortable sharing):
  • Any additional information you can provide

As mentioned here, this has been reported to be happening on other non-Framework laptops running Windows 11 as well, but we need see if anything else might be causing issues.

Thank you in advance, and we’ll scape the responses when the team is back from break starting on January 3rd.

  • Generation of Framework Laptop: 12th Gen Intel Core
  • SSD Installed: 1TB WD_BLACK SN770 NVMe SSD
  • BIOS version: 3.05
  • Happening on AC power, battery, or both: both
  • Power adapter used (Framework or other): Framework
  • External peripherals utilized/plugged in (if any): none
  • Expansion Cards used in ports: USB-C x2, USB-A x1, DP x1
  • Date of delivery (only if comfortable sharing): Oct 2022
  • Any additional information you can provide: Windows 11. My problem is not battery drain. When it happens, it’s an unexpected shutdown that occurs as I open the laptop lid per the logs, and has happened while plugged in (so obviously not battery drain). This hasn’t happened in about a month since I’ve stopped using the DP/HDMI expansion cards. With only USB cards, I have no problems. If I use the DP or HDMI expansion card, the unexpected shutdown happens within 24-48 hours.

@Twistgibber I’ve experienced this issue. Not really a big deal to me just kind of a minor annoyance.

  • BIOS version: INSYDE Corp. 03.05, 8/23/2022
  • Happening on AC power, battery, or both: Saw shutdowns when connected on AC power. Never tested on purely battery power.
  • Power adapter used (Framework or other): Anker 737 120W 3-port charger with Anker 333 100W 6ft USB-CtoC cable.
  • External peripherals utilized/plugged in (if any): None
  • Expansion Cards used in ports: 3xUSB-C, 1xUSB-A (lower right port, under the enter key)
  • Date of delivery (only if comfortable sharing): Nov 4th (
  • Any additional information you can provide:

    RAM: 2x16GB Samsung M471A2K43DB1-CWE

Shutdown was never the result of battery drain, since I had always had the laptop plugged in when putting to sleep. Haven’t been testing it lately since I just switched to hibernating my laptop when the lid is closed, which I have had no issues with. Tried the testing earlier in the thread with removing a device that appeared to be causing issues when viewing Windows event logs, but that didn’t seem to affect my sleep crash issues.

Thanks all! We’ve begun scraping these responses and will be escalating to Engineering for review. We’ll keep you updated on our progress/findings.

The Abnormal Shutdowns

Those full shutdowns (terminating all running programs, powering down completely) are happening almost every time I leave the computer alone for more than an hour.

  • For the time I made the following reports, the computer was constantly connected to the mains adapter (seems completely stable, the computer also when not in sleep mode).
  • Windows Power & sleep settings are:
    • Screen - When plugged in, turn off after: 10 minutes
    • Sleep - When plugged in, PC goes to sleep after: 10 minutes
  • I installed the Windows 11 Framework Laptop BIOS and Driver Releases (12th Gen Intel® Core™) mentioned in this post because it said it would work on Windows 10 and I could not find other drivers for e.g. the wifi card and the thunderbold hardware. I installed it like I described here.
  • Connected to the laptop are:
    • Via USB-C Card: Power adaper
    • Via USB-A Card: 5 port USB hub connecting a 7 port USB hub. There is not THAT much connected: Logitech Keyboard, Mouse, an USB drive, a LogiLink 4-Port RS-232 Adapter and a ST-Link V2 chip programmer / debugging probe.
    • Via HDMI Card: AOC 2.5K display Q27P1
    • 1x DisplayPort Card (no display connected, I tried to connect the AOC display whith an DP cable but after screen off, the computer would not recognize the display as connected :frowning: . I think the Shutdown problem was existing before I plugged in the DP Card and had a MicroSD Card connected.

So here are the 3 “Abnormal Shutdowns”, the Windows “System Power Report” collected over the last 2 days. One on Jan 5:

And the next two, this afternoon / night. For those last two I am sure, the Laptop Lid was open and I left the computer without switching anything off. The times of those shutdowns seems to be wrong because it is exactly the time I started using the computer for the “Active” time and I am pretty sure I found the computer already completely powered down at these times (17:19, 21:25). It looks like the computer did not manage to log the time when the “Abnormal Shutdown” happened and did this when I powered it up again.

The Details of the last “Abnormal Shutdown”:

And there are some diagnostics / settings noted some random “Screen Off” randomly in the middle of this “System Power Report”. I think those display and sleep timeouts are consistent with the 10 min timeout settings and with the logged times. The hibernation timeout of 0 seems to be the reason the computer never enters hibernation even though hibernation is enabled (I don’t know how to change this timeout).

@Niun Respect, that’s a lot more information than I thought to include!
