Gnome 50 / Wayland freezing the whole system several time a day

Hello!

I've been experiencing freezing during the day that leads me to a hard reset. It seems to happens when switching windows (via alt+tab or overview). I noticed that about 3-4 weeks ago. It was happening each two or three days. Now, this complete system freeze occurring multiple times per day. Display freezes completely but audio and video (e.g. Google Meet, YouTube) continue. No TTY accessible.

Kernel logs (journalctl -b -1 -k):

Consistent pattern across all freezes:

amdgpu_cs_parser_bos.isra.0+0x486/0x810 [amdgpu]
amdgpu_cs_ioctl+0xc09/0x1b30 [amdgpu]
drm_ioctl_kernel+0xae/0x100
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#10 stuck for 26s! [gnome-shel:cs0]
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#12 stuck for 26s! [KMS thread]
Tainted: [D]=DIE, [O]=OOT_MODULE, [L]=SOFTLOCKUP

One boot also showed a successful MODE2 reset (driver self-recovered), but most result in hard freeze requiring reboot.

Hardware:

GPU: AMD Radeon 680M (Rembrandt)
Driver: amdgpu (kernel)
ThinkPad E14

Software:

OS: Arch Linux
Kernel: 7.0.12-arch1-1
Mesa: 26.1.3-2
vulkan-radeon: 26.1.3-2
Desktop: GNOME 50, Wayland
GNOME extensions: none enabled

Kernel parameters: loglevel=3 quiet splash sysctl.vm.swappiness=1 hibernate.compressor=lz4
Description:

Notes:

• No GNOME extensions enabled

• amdgpu.psr=0 tested, no improvement, reverted

• Mesa updated to latest (26.1.3), no improvement

Let me know what information I could supply.

Best regards,

Rafael
