I also double-checked this on my last boot, and yet… inxi -Fzx:

not sure why it’s not loading with the amdgpu driver. :confused:

Reread that:

Alrighty! My bad. :stuck_out_tongue:

I just gave that a shot now that I’m back from vacay, hopefully it works!

24

So far that really seems to have helped, although I get some lockups here and there, they do seem to clear up without crashing and I have yet to have a completely insurmountable lockup with this configuration. I’m impressed!

25

In that case you can mark as a solution the post with amdgpu instructions.
Nonetheless, try to find the cause of lock-ups and report a bug (at least some logs), that should be easier, now that system recovers from a hang.

I encountered a similar issue considering the hardware I’m using. So, whenever I stop working with my machine and it was idle for ~5 minutes it suddenly froze. It happened twice today and I just need to restart it to continue working.

Update BIOS (a lot has changed over those three years) and start a new thread if this issue persists - you’ve got completely different hardware, it’s almost 10 years newer.

Same problem here: My cheap, plastic, Intel laptop is completely reliable, but my AMD A10-7800 APU daily working desktop is completely unreliable. Graphics just shut-down every several hours, and refuses to wake-up; must be re-booted, losing anything unsaved.

I’m an end–user in need of a reliable desktop. I’m not an IT guy, nor an enthusiast. So for me, Fedora is just not an option on AMD until this is fixed…I’m off to download OpenSUSE or Kubuntu. I’ll keep Fedora on the laptop, since I really like it; but this AMD/Fedora driver issue is untenable.

This is Kaveri APU with Sea Islands GPU, so you can use amgpu too:

If you’re here looking for some help, not just to complain, start a new thread with sudo inxi -Fmaz output and kernel/mesa version from distro that has no such issues on this computer.
