Unrequested power off when idle for more than 1 hour

[UPDATE] different conditions

Hi all,
after the 2026-08-12 stable update, for two days in a row I experienced this strange behaviour:
after leaving unattended the machine for more than 1 hour (lunch break) I found the machine powered off.

I disabled in plasma everything related to power saving.
Looking alt the logs I don’t see anything strange (but maybe I don’t know what to look for)

I’ll verify if in the next days the problem reappear

What can I look for?

Check UEFI/BIOS for any power saving settings.

Could be related… :backhand_index_pointing_down:

:thinking:

Hey mate did you find any solution? Have you read my post (linked above by aragorn)? Did you find any similarities?

No solution for now.
But I have to verify if there are bios updates for my MB.

MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI

BIOS Update 07.22.2026

Sad. When I try with my latest BIOS version even more issues come up (and the pc keeps turning off every hour)

I have been looking at the - somewhat - similar topic (referenced) above.

While looking at the I stumbled on [RESOLVED] Random shutdowns within 10-15min / Newbie Corner / Arch Linux Forums which turned out to be a USB device which triggered a power off.

Not saying this is the same - but it would be worth investigating if something is triggering a full power off - like if you hold the power button long enough.

Hi @luca maybe it is unrelated; but have you tried to use the notebook whthout the battery?

If your notebook can do it, remove the battery and use the notebook directly attached to the power.

Once I experienced troubles with my notebook. Removing the battery cured everything.
After that I bought a new battery and there were no more problems

SOLVED

The culprit behind the shutdown was identified by chance.

One of my cats sat on the computer with her front paws on the power button.

People who design things with controls on top obviously have never lived with a cat. :cat: :roll_eyes: I have an old PC case with its power button on the top as well (not in use, need to fix the motherboard).

I had to tape anti-trample shields on my satellite receivers and my Sony Bravia TV. (You can’t even see the controls if you have that thing on a wall). :facepalm:
