Looks like we aren’t the only ones: Preventing Hibernation - #5 by Connor_Bunch
Hi, I think it is different:
“Currently, if I leave my laptop in a sleep state, then when I come back to it I will find that it has completely powered off (hibernated)”
In his case, it is hibernated, all apps are still on. In our case, all apps are closed, like shutdown, which is very harmful.
ok, I found another one, I’m still not sure how to “fix” this issue though:
Yeah, this one is the same. Do you think it is a software issue or a hardware issue? It is 9/19/2022 now. We need to make sure we did not get a bad unit. Otherwise, we need to ask for an exchange or return it.
I really do not want to return it. I am a previous mac user, now I hate Apple solder SSD on the motherboard. So Mac is not an option for me. Compared with other Windows laptops, like XPS 13, ThinkPad carbon x1, etc, the Framework laptop is actually pretty good, in terms of price and the performance I can get.

In my case, it sometimes happens two days once, three days once, or four days once.
I won’t be returning it, I’d rather just leave it on sleep = never when plugged in. I’ll work with Framework to see if they can find anything, maybe someone here has found the fix we just haven’t found it.
I’m also coming from a Mac and I can’t go back to MacOS now for work.

Just an FYI this happened to me with laptop up and running while I was actively using it. I shut it down in between uses and overnight.
When it shut off on me, I had it plugged in, and had been using it for approx. 30 minutes.
I don’t want to return either, I love the laptop, but I also am having issues with the USB-A port providing power but not connecting to my keyboard, and another time the screen shut off/went black but the comp did not shut down. Just really weird stuff that never happened to me in my years of X1 ownership.
I would lose $200 returning it (on memory and SSD) but like you said I need reliability and honestly while I wasn’t expecting great battery life, it’s just annoying that I always have to be plugged in.
Yeah, I am experiencing both: (1) freezing while I was actively using it. (2) shutdown while it was either sleeping or just locked by win + L.
Wondering if you all are part of a cluster of isolated issues.
Each of you should open up a support ticket with @FrameworkSupport, and refer the ticket to this thread. @TheTwistgibber might need to take a closer look?
There’s currently another thread regarding instant power loss as well…might be related.
@Jacob_Ma mentioned that in his case, it doesn’t seem like hibernation as all previously opened apps are lost. Jacob, what was Windows’ Event Viewer say, anything around kernel lost power?
Hi @seadub ,
We’re curious if you’ve previously submitted a support ticket for your current problem. If you haven’t already, we encourage you to do so.
We will be waiting for you in the support channel. Thanks

While I appreciate being tagged into threads, I should not be used as a proxy for our existing Support team. Customers should always file Support tickets when experiencing issues as that is where our resourcing is focused. We’re under heavily load right now due to Batch 2 and Batch 3 shipments, so we kindly ask for your patience while we work through the queue. I have quite a bit on my plate right now as I’m responsible for multiple areas here at Framework and can chime in when I have cycles, but right now, I’m not the best resource to be pinging on one-off issues at the moment.

Understood. Just wanted to tag you for awareness should things / any of the related tickets get bubble up to you.

I opened a support ticket myself, just to catalog it.

Sept 18, 2022 11PM, I closed the lid of the laptop (make laptop go to sleep) and put into my backpack, goes from library to home.
Around 3 hours later. When I open it, the laptop is completely shutdown, not hibernate.
Do you mean error 41?
Yeah. Looks like you’re experiencing the same symptom as others…Instant power loss.
You’ll really need to reach out to Framework Support for this.
Thanks for your comments. It is probably a hardware issue that needs to change the motherboard right?
I can’t say for sure, it could be a BIOS bug, loose battery connector, bad batch of batteries, MOSFET issue…etc. Only they’ll know what the course of action that will be applicable to your situation.

@seadub Hi, did you check your event viewer before? Before the laptop lost power (usually with an event ID 41), did your laptop has lots of error?
The framework support found lots of errors before my lost power event, related to VPN software. And asked me to have a fresh reinstall of windows OS.
However, I personally do not think those errors will make the laptop lose power, because I indeed had a fresh install of Win 11 from a blank SSD at the very beginning. I did nothing wrong.
What is it in your case?
@Second_Coming Do you think the support’s suggestion is valid? Reinstalling took a lot of time for me. A big time investment.
Just wanted to throw my two cents in here, I also have a Windows 11 machine. I upgraded my MB to the 12th gen model and reused all my previous 11th gen parts.
I had a similar problem with the computer freezing and then shutting off, not shutting down just off.
After working with Framework support for a while it turns out the problem appears related to my DP expansion card. Whenever it was inserted, the computer would freeze and shutdown after about 3-5 hours.
As a simple test for everyone, if you have a DisplayPort card installed, remove it and see if the freezing continues. FYI, this may not correct the sleep mode issue I read some of you were having.
It was crazying me insane. I am getting a new DP card for testing.
