Monitors Enter Standby and Cannot Be Reactivated on Fedora 43

I have installed Fedora 43 (Gnome) on an AMD Ryzen system (using the integrated GPU). Basically, I use the system as delivered in order to work with it stably. In the settings under “Power,” I disabled the option for the monitor to turn off or go into standby.

Here is the problem (which has now occurred twice): After an indefinite period of time, my two monitors go into standby mode and I cannot reactivate them. The computer still responds to commands. For example, I can still control the music playback via the keyboard. What could be the issue here?

There are other posts here with similar issues.

There’s obviously an issue going on with wake/sleep. Either it’s a driver issue, or it’s a kernel issue.

But it’s for sure annoying.

I’ve resorted to unplugging my monitor and plugging it back into a different display port on my graphics card. That wakes it up.

Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

I’m having a similar issue with NVIDIA GTX980Ti since upgrading to Fedora 43. Computer wakes up briefly and before I can log in the screens go black and PC has to be forced a restart to work anymore on it.

I created a bug report for this, I have the same issue on two difference computers, one running bazzite (Fedora 43) and the other running vanilla Fedora 43.
