will report back with updates!
Iāve been having this exact same issue. My main suspicion was that it was my use of 4800mhz RAM (as was framework supportās, so they wouldnāt help me any further unless I got 5600mhz), but if other people are getting it with 5600mhz, thatād sure save me money. Hereās my dumps, if it helps. Dumps - Google Drive
I got a response from support, and so far Iāve only been asked to re-seat the memory and provide specs for my RAM and SSD since I didnāt purchase those from FW. Also to note it here, I have a 1TB SK Hynix P31, and the rather popular 2x16 Crucial 5600MT/s (CT2K16G56C46S5). I did inform them that I ran memtest for a good while and the memory seemed to check out. I also shared with them the same updates I posted earlier in this thread.
One suggestion for narrowing things down further (in the same e-mail where I was asked to provide more hardware info) was to remove expansion cards in case a faulty card was responsible. Given that my Win11 install has been stable for 10 days, and that Iām essentially looking for a crash to test a hypothesis, I havenāt done that yet to avoid eliminating multiple variables before the next possible crash. Nevertheless, I guess removing expansion cards might help some of you. Iāll update this thread once I get a response (or a BSOD!).

Framework support decided to blame the fact that Iām ārunning unsupported ramā on the issue, which I personally think is much further from the issue. I replied saying that there are multiple people, which there are, having the same issue with the official 5600 MT/s kit. Iāll keep you guys updated.

Same issue here; I got the 5600MT/s RAM from Framework just in case there were any weird compatibility issues. Iāve had a couple hard freezes in Windows 11 occur randomly, same as folks are describing here. I havenāt waited too long to reboot after the freezes occur so I donāt think there were any relevant events logged. Iāll try to wait next time, though I donāt know how long makes sense to wait; typically when a hard freeze occurs on other hardware Iāve worked with, itāll stay like that for hours/days until you reboot it manuallyā¦ FWIW I started with the Framework driver set, but upgraded the AMD drivers.

For what itās worth, usually after about 2-3 minutes of the hard freeze it then bluescreens for me as a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION.

I was just about to write that it seems like my issue has disappeared since I didnāt have any freezes since my op. However, it just happened again. I waited 3 min and the fw bluescreened and rebooted. Here is the event viewer log:

Same issues here and so far support has not responded to my reply, gonna open another ticket if i dont get a response.
Iām also getting the DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION BSOD on Windows 11 with my AMD Framework 13.
Iāve noticed that it only ever happens when Iām on battery and usually 5 - 10 minutes after resuming from sleep.
The system will freeze, usually the mouse first and the keyboard will either lag or stop responding. Then after sitting frozen for around a minute or two the system will blue screen with the error:
DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION
The error dump varies, here are a few of the different errors Iāve found in the Windows maintenance log:

Iām running the most up-to-date drivers from AMD directly for both chipset and GPU.
Windows 11 is fully up to date
Iām using Framework RAM
Running BIOS 3.03.
Iāve checked all the internal connections and reseated the memory and SSD.
I havenāt raised a ticket yet but will do so.
I have been getting random crashes on my AMD fw13 too. Today I updated my drivers using the AMD autodetect tool, but got a crash just now after a few hours of up time.
This time it went to a BSOD rather than just hanging indefinitely and made a minidmp.
Here is the callstack from the dump using windbg.

Judging from the callstack, the AMD driver does seem to be the cause in this case.
Hi all. I was encountering BSODs, and found a solution (at least for me). Basically, they only happened on battery and when the PCI Express Link State Management was set to Maximum Power Savings on battery (the default). Since changing the setting to Moderate, I have had no further issues.
You need to open āEdit Power Planā, then āChange Advanced Settingsā and then modify the PCI Express setting.

I just had another one. I just edited the Power Plan as youāve described, letās see if it helps. Thx for sharing!
Btw, are there any news from people who have contacted fw support with regard to this issue?
Thanks for this tip. I just encountered the DPC_Watchdog_Violation BSOD crash, while on battery. I just made that Power Setting change. Iāll report back!
Yep, same issue here! Hoping Framework or AMD address this ASAP. Happens sporadically for me, so I cannot reproduce reliably.
Iām guessing this is a universal issue, right?
Iāve had my AMD 13 for about 2 weeks and have had the same lockups described here. Each time, the mouse stutters, then the whole system freezes. I mostly use the laptop for browsing the web, so itās no surprise that it has always happened when I go to open a new tab in Edge. Edge uses HW acceleration so I wonder if the GPU drivers are involved.
It has happened while plugged in as well as on battery. I have the latest BIOS, latest AMD drivers and Win11. I am running 2x16GB g.Skill 5600 CL40 RAM and a Solidigm SSD. I have run the Win11 RAM test in the thorough mode and it found no problems. I will try changing the PCI Express Link State next and see what happens.

I have had mine for about a month and I have the same issue. Sometimes the display turns into a bunch of color blocks so my guess is itās the AMD graphics driver. It only happens on Windows.
Edit: After 24h of using the PCI Express āfixā, itās crashed 3-4 times. So, uh, that doesnāt work, unfortunately.
I have been in close contact with support on this issue, there isnāt much to report back yet as I am waiting on my supported ram kit to come in. Is anyone else using 4800Mhz ram that is experiencing this issue?
Thx @sgilderd for the suggestion. Iāve been having these freezes everyday at least twice since I got the laptop (5 days ago). However, I guess there has been a decrease in the frequency as I got 4 freezes on the second day after building the laptop up.
I just modified the PCI express settings and Iāll comment back in three days or so to give a feedback. Hope it works out!
Edit : it just froze twice already halfway through the morningā¦
I got my fw 13 diy edition yesterday and had it freeze this morning while just web browsing. It also went to blue screen and then shut down.
I was on battery power also.
Windows 11 pro, kingston fury 5600 2 x 32 ram and wd black SN850X 2tb ssd.
Just updated the amd drivers and will see how it goesā¦
Same experience here, initially. Random stuttering, freezing and eventually a blue screen. Only one event produced a full MEMORY.DUMP file.
Windows 11 Pro, Kingston fury 5600 2 x 32 RAM and Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB SSD. No tweaks other than following the knowledgebase instructions for allocating more RAM for video. Main computer used about 4 hrs/day for web surfing, videos and light gaming.
This was an opportunity to learn the basics of WinDbg to analyze the minidump crash files. The results consistently pointed to a faulting graphics driver.
Two solutions seem to have worked.
First, installing the latest AMD Adrenaline software downloaded directly from AMD. No blue screens since.
Second, installing OpenSuse Tumbleweed Linux as a dual-boot setup. It just works, although it did take some research and fiddling to get the touchpad and fingerprint reader working satisfactorily. Has not crashed once though. Happily, Wayland and KDE work beautifully with this incredible hardware, such a leap forward from the old ThinkPad.
