I’ve had similar issues of Fedora freezing and sometimes displaying a blackscreen. I’d roll back to Fedora 42.

I’m having similar things on Intel 255H, though not daily.
F43, stable latest kernels.

This time it’s not related to sleep or energy saving, as happens mostly during some action.

happens once or twice a day, usually i have many (4+) VMs running on KVM, lots of apps and the machine is on AC power @ performance profile.

in my case it never reboots, always freezes and I have to force power off - power on it.
