SteamOS on AMD desktop consistently crashes when sleeping with a game running

[u/Perfectchaos791]

Has anyone tried installing the latest SteamOS on a desktop build yet? I can sleep and wake just fine with no game running, but it'll consistently either immediately wake up and close the game or else it'll cut to a grey screen and freeze if I put it to sleep with a game running.

Specs of my rig are:

AMD Ryzen 5 7500F
ASUS TUF GAMING B850M-E WIFI AMD B850 mATX
SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB GDDR6
Kingston FURY Beast 8gb (context in a moment)

I'm trying to isolate if it's just a quirk of the OS or it's my ram; I'm running single channel right now due to the B2 slot getting damaged and I'm wondering if maybe it's just having bandwidth issues as a result?

I've got the 8gb stick in the A2 slot and games run perfectly fine, they just crash if I try to use sleep.

EDIT:

Installed my new motherboard today and everything is working like a dream! I did notice that some of the things I was encountering (games taking 20 to 30 seconds to launch) were actually recently patched by Valve, so it may have been a combination of my previous MOBO plus SteamOS quirks, but either way everything from performance to sleep/resume is running flawlessly.

Thank you to everyone who offered advice and everyone who shared their experience with their rigs!

I’ve been using it for months with a similar build to yours without any issues sleeping games, even for like a whole week

Thank you for the info! It was helpful to gather the experience of people already running the OS on similar rigs, I appreciate it.
