Whenever I do anything involving sustained GPU load, the laptop reboots within 30 minutes. Any significant gaming, any sustained generative AI tasks, and any photo/video editing consistently consistently cause the laptop to reboot.
The reboot behavior is identical to if I had selected “Restart” from the KDE applications menu. The Framework logo flashes briefly on the screen before the power light blinks off, then turns back on as the laptop reboots. There is no LED storm from the mainboard.
“Normal” usage (web browsing, watching videos, text editing) and sustained high CPU-only activities (running LLM tools compiled without AMD GPU support, forcing software rendering on 2D games and avoiding the GPU) don’t seem to trigger this.
Temperatures and fans do not appear to be an issue. Fans are running full blast when the reboot occurs. I logged sensors
output once per second prior to the most recent reboots and the output indicated nothing over 91C, with amdgpu
reporting 72C:

Battery is fully charged and the laptop connected to the stock power adapter when the reboots occur. Journalctl not only fails to log any errors prior to the reboot, it doesn’t log any SIGTERM or reasoning for the reboot.
No system updates are available when the reboot occurs; it’s not an update triggering an autoreboot in the background.
