Fedora 44 after suspend, I got black screen

I’m currently running Fedora 44 KDE after upgrading from Fedora 43 KDE.

The only problem I’ve encountered is that after putting the PC to sleep and leaving it in sleep mode for a while, when I wake it up, the PC only partially resumes: that is, the keyboard turns on, the mouse works, and I hear a KDE sound through the speakers, but the screen stays black—no image appears.

I try to enter a console with CTRL+ALT+F1, F2, or F3, but nothing happens.

I have no choice but to shut down the PC and restart it. This has already happened to me three times.

What could it be? With Fedora 43 and the 6.x kernel (the previous one), this never happened to me.

Thanks.

I guess found the solution thanks to Gemini.
It suggested me to add this

1. Enable Advanced Power Management

Open a terminal and run the following command block to create the video module configuration file:

sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-power.conf << 'EOF'
options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1
options nvidia NVreg_TemporaryFilePath=/var/tmp
options nvidia NVreg_EnableS0ixPowerManagement=1
EOF

(The EnableS0ixPowerManagement parameter is critical in Kernel 7 to ensure the GPU wakes up properly).

2. Enable NVIDIA Suspension Systemd Services

Force Fedora to trigger NVIDIA’s built-in scripts whenever the system suspends or resumes:

sudo systemctl enable nvidia-suspend.service nvidia-hibernate.service nvidia-resume.service

3. Update the Kernel Initramfs

Regenerate the boot image so Fedora loads these parameters from the very first second of the boot process:

sudo dracut --force

After doing this, reboot your computer to apply all changes.
