The same issue is seemingly discussed over different threads (see Fedora Workstation 41 ~randomly~ freezing, and Fedora 41 - Freezing randomly) but don’t get to the root cause.
I don’t really know what else to do to debug more. The issue is the following:
Randomly, the workstation completely freezes. Nothing else works, when sound is played, it plays in a loop of 0.5 second, no secondary TTY access, no SYSREQ working. The only way to get a working station back is to hold down the power button to shut down the whole machine and turn it back on. And then, after some time, it happens again.
It’s been going on for a month know. I thought it would have been fixed with updates, but no luck. I just updated my firmware to the newer version, still no luck. It is a big issue as shutting down the computer this way can corrupt the file system.
I’m desperate.
Here is the only error I can see with journalctl -k -b -1 -p err:

I will be grateful if somebody could point me in the right direction to debug this.
