Describe the bug

Framework 16 Laptop with 7700S dGPU ungracefully reboots (crashes) when opening Hardware Accelerated applications like some browsers, 3D Programs, Games or Game SDKs after waking up from s2idle suspend

(e.g. closing the lid and letting the computer sleep for ~= 10min). There is no kernel panic or blue-screen from Windows, it just crashes and restarts. Down below is the Debian dmesg log after a crash event.

The system has a dual-boot of Windows 11 Pro and Debian 12 and presents the issue on both Operating Systems.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• Power on Laptop.
• Boot any of the two OSs
• Open a game or a browser that utilizes the dGPU (HW Acceleration)
• Sleep/Suspend the Laptop or close the lid.
• Wait 10 mins.
• Wake system from sleep.
• System crashes when re-opening the browser or any HW Accelerated app.

Expected behavior

System should wake from sleep and continue to work normally.

Screenshots

Not screenshots, but videos can be provided.

Evidence of crash

Evidence that System/dGPU properly works from cold-boot.

Operating System (please complete the following information):

Dual-boot System

Windows

• OS/Distribution: Windows 11 Pro
• Version: 24H2
• Linux Kernel Version: N/A

Linux

• OS/Distribution: Debian 12 Bookworm
• Version: 12
• Linux Kernel Version: Linux N7-FWK-DGB 6.1.0-35-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.137-1 (2025-05-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Additional context

This problem only presents itself when the system wakes from sleep, otherwise the system functions normally.
Issue is present on BOTH Operating Systems and has already been reported through Framework Support; no solution was reached, hence why I'm reporting it through here, it's highly possible it's a firmware issue to investigate.
(dGPU has been re-seated multiple times, RAM as well, SSD, etc.).

I have attached a trim of the journal of one of the many crash events for reference, if necessary the full journal of that session can be provided.

Recommend seeing 02 before 01 (might have more useful data).
