pretty wacky week last week, it snowed a ton here, may or may not have bedbugs although if we do for now they seem contained(?) so keeping an eye on that

    Typically In my experience, what you describe is a Power/Wattage issue. Could be a powerdown, sleep issue, or something like either the GPU isn’t getting the power it needs when it needs it, or the PSU is just over taxed. Would really want to see DMESG logs and more hardware info (Do you have crashdumps?). Try disabling any powerdown or C-states for the GPU, prevent it from going to sleep.

      Appreciate the response! After many, many hours of research, I came to the same conclusion. I tried a whole multitude of solutions that worked for others and none of them seemed to work - except for a weird hacky “solution” to just permanently set the power state of the GPU to max. Unfortunately, that means it consumes ~50 watts idle instead of the 5-10 it managed beforehand… but the fact that it fixed the system lockups made it worth it. I think the issue was something having to do with the GPU not properly waking up from lower power modes - so I super appreciate the advice :)
