Hi everyone,
I’d upgraded to Fedora 41 from 40.
After upgrading, my machine suddenly crashes in middle of nothing and logs me out of my account. I need to login every time this crash happens.
Hardware and Software Combo that I’m using are as follow :
I can’t find any logs related to crash. Last few lines of logs from dmesg
Thank you,

Have a look at both the system journal and the user journal for clues.
I had a similar issue and it was driving me nuts. Wanted to open a thread about this, found yours.
In my case I was logged out randomly sometimes moving a weindow “too fast” or opening too many tabs on Chrome, or start compiling a heavy nodejs program in Visual Studio Code… so I was thinking it was a memory issue or so…
In my case I got it solved at login screen, clicking the “settings” icon (bottom right) and choose Gnome on Xorg.
This looks like the kernel wasn’t affected, so you should note the time you got logged out and use journalctl to see if there are “interesting” entries around the time of the crash.
I’m having the exact same issue, found your thread while Googling around.
Fedora Linux 41
Kernel: 6.11.8-300.fc41.x86_64
AMD Ryzen 5 4600U
Found the following related in the journal, makes sense why switching to Xorg should fix it (but is not really a fix in my opinion)
