Well, just an update. I still haven't had a freeze or any errors, and I have enabled speedshift again for over 24 hours. I think it's safe to say that the culprit indeed is the Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 WiFi adapter. Either there is something wrong with the hardware or there's something wrong with the latest driver, but with it being disabled, I have not had a single problem since. Keeping it disabled has solved the problem for me. I have found another workaround where I can continue to use the WiFi adapter without it freezing my computer. In the advanced power options under PCI Express, turning Link State Management off has resolved the problem. I haven't had any freezes with my WiFi adapter enables since with Link State Management off. The driver version is 12.0.0.1118 and the driver date is June 15, 2021.Qualcomm QCA61x4A/QCA9377 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Driver A newer driver was released on June 22, 2021. 12.0.0.1118 A45.
I've only had my R11 for a month or so, but it is randomly freezing at least once a day. I never had this problem with my Dell Inspiron. Ex: Today, was using an online alarm service to wake me up, and the computer froze. I was able to get taskbar open, and the CPU was only at 58% and the memory was not even near 32GB. I was able to try and sign out, but it was endlessly trying to sight out. Other times, it would completely freeze. Windows and all of my other drivers are up to date. I have run the Dell support diagnostic tools, and it says everything is fine. Specs: - Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10900F CPU @ 2.80GHz 2.81 GHz- RTX 3070- 32GB Ram- 1 TB SSD and 2 TB HD- Windows 10 Home
