I've had VMs do this if not enough vram were allocated.
Since this is running on metal, I'd say check BIOS settings to see if you can dedicate additional memory to video/GPU. This is a pretty common feature for laptops and desktops with integrated graphics.
Following that, see if there may be a better non-free driver for your graphics. I'd recommend getting
lspci
output if you don't know what chipset it is. What model is the laptop?What you're explaining re: partial reboot sounds like your window/display manager crashing.
The specific laptop model is HP Laptop 15-fc0025dx. It's an AMD Radeon graphics card;
lspci
lists the vga compatible controller as a Mendocino (rev c1), which this link seems to tell me is used in the AMD Radeon 610M. Unsure how to dedicate additional memory to the gpu from the BIOS (still a linux scrub lol), but checking on somedmesg
errors reveals there seems to be a recent bug with a link encoder assignment (whatever that means). More details in this comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/10811232
