My Ryzen 9 AI hx 370 system was repeatedly crashing the display. The system would still be up but dmesg told me there were cpu lockups.

Looking at Phoronix reviews of the HX 370 it suggested their laptop also saw these crashes and they updated to a newer version of the Linux kernel and Mesa graphics. So I found this page which described the “mainline” package for retrieving and picking up kernels.

That worked well until I tried “perf” and it didn’t find a perf package for my kernel. So learned another trick. If you type “sudo apt install linux-tools-” and then a tab it will try to autocomplete. More usefully it will give you a list of available tools. Once that set of perf tools is installed, I then went to do the same thing but “sudo apt install linux-image-” and picked the corresponding kernel.

No to update mesa, I found this page which gave me the instructions for getting the latest Mesa drivers. With both installed, I now will see if this helps my kernel/driver crashes.
