Pop! OS Freezing Randomly

I posted this on Reddit but I have not gotten any help yet.

So I installed the version without the Nvidia drivers and now after a few hours of use my OS will randomly crash. I found a post relating to configuring Nvidia drivers but I don’t have that file being I didn’t pick the one with the drivers so I am guessing mine is crashing/freezing for a different reason.

I have not been playing games with it. The only things I have been using on it are Emacs and Chrome. Regardless of what I do it seems to crash. I am unsure how to get diagnostics or logs at the moment it crashes to determine the cause.

Here is my system info.

Disable c states/power management for testing?

Make sure psu idle current is set to typical in uefi?

Disable gear down mode (around ram settings)?

Scratch what I just said…

under advanced\AMD CBS I found it mentioned.

Now I am searching how to disable gear down mode…

mine keeps randomly freezing as well. it happens in pop os only. windows and ubuntu works fine
