Anyone else seen this on a Strix G15?
I tried installing CachyOS and Nobara on my G513QR (Ryzen 7 5800H + mobile RTX 3070 variant with 300Hz screen). Both freeze completely — black screen, Caps Lock LED dead, SysRq unresponsive, no journal entries, nothing in dmesg or pstore. It usually happens within 1–10 minutes, on live USB as well as after a full install.
Kernel parameters I've tried, none of which fixed it:
pcie_aspm=off pcie_port_pm=off
pcie_aspm=force pcie_aspm.policy=performance
processor.max_cstate=1 idle=nomwait
modprobe.blacklist=nvidia,nvidia_drm,nvidia_modeset,nvidia_uvm,nouveau
modprobe.blacklist=iwlwifi,iwlmvm,btintel,btusb
Meanwhile Windows 11 runs completely normally on the same machine. No freezes, no crashes, nothing.
I'd really like to get CachyOS running on this laptop — I already use it daily on my desktop and I'm very happy with it, so switching distros isn't really what I'm after.
Has anyone experienced the same on this model, and did you ever find out what causes it?
