Hi,
I have Windows 11 running on my Asus Rog Strix laptop great, no hardware issues after installing latest BIOS 335 from December 2025 - solves PCIE Power Management issues - see Github Ref:
NOTE: Windows 11 I had to Turn-Off PCIE Power Management to stop System Freezes/Crashing.
Reference to most recent 2020-2025 Asus Laptops periodic ACPI/DPC stall issues - BIOS Fixed.
“The periodic ACPI/DPC stall mechanism in this write-up was caused by firmware behavior inside ECLV (sleeping/polling and self-rearming in the EC/GPE event path). ASUS has since shipped a UEFI update that rewrites ECLV to process queued events without sleeping and without artificial self-rearm, and also optimizes additional ACPI power-management methods.
Github Tech Deep Dive
Ubuntu Versions Install Tried:
22.04 LTS, 24.04, 25.10 - All same Freeze/Crash on live usb desktop. 25.10 seems to get farthest.
Desktop Environment:
Tried: GNOME and KDE Plasma.
Problem Description:
Tried multiple usb drives with live Ubuntu iso’s from ubuntu written via Balena Etcher and/or Rufus in Win 11 with all latest updates and Asus specific software for this exact laptop.
With Kernel Parameters I can get to live usb Desktop click in install but Crashes/Freezes 10-20 seconds into the install screen.
Tried Debian 12 and 13.2 - this gets right to the end of installation at the last update files via internet screen it Crashes/Freezes.
PopOs NVIDIA - same as Ubuntu Crashes/Freezes.
CentOS Desktop iso - Gets Full Install with disk partitions formatted etc but Crashes shortly after login to Desktop about 5-10 seconds into the Desktop screen.
Relevant System Information:
Model Name: ROG Strix G713 (2021 Model)

UEFI/BIOS config

CSM: (can not find)
ACHI - Disks - NVME shown.
Armoury Crate in BIOS both Enable / Disable - same result.
Only 1 usb Mouse connected to laptop nothing else.
OS Windows 11
I have 2 separate primary NVMe SSDs Partitions, I have Windows installed on one other is EXT4 or XFS depending on the install attempt prior to crashing. Note: Latest version of Armoury Crate installed & it works great.
Screenshots or Error Messages:
None due to Crash shortly after entering usb boot into Live Desktop.
What I’ve Tried:
- Updated to latest BIOS v335 - this got Windows 11 working flawlessly.
+ Tried Kernel Parameters on both Boot Options: Regular and Safe Mode.
Kernel Parameters: amd_pstate=guided, pcie_aspm=off, acpi_osi=Linux, amdgpu.runpm=0 amdgpu.modeset=1, amd.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff, nouveau.modeset=0 nvidia-drm.fbdev=1, nomodeset, modules_load=nvidia, nvidia-drm.modeset=0
Gets into usb Live Desktop crashes shortly into the install screen usually after time zone selected.
Win 11 works fine so Linux must work too just need to find the right setup config!
Any Help is Appreciated!
