[24.9.1] Drivers with AFMF 2 included cause restarts on laptops with 880M when the machine is idle

Drivers with AFMF 2 (including 24.9.1 and the previous beta drivers) cause a Vivobook S14 M5406 to restart when it's left idle for around 7-8 minutes. There is no WHEA error and no event in the Event Log before this - it's just a Kernel Power event with Task 63 and EventID 41. This has a 100% reproduction rate.

The issue did not occur on previous drivers (24.8.1).
AFMF 2 was enabled during the occurrence, but no game was turned on (just chromium-based browsers and Discord)

I will note that I know AMD officially recommends OEM drivers, but at the same time the blog post makes a claim that AFMF 2 is optimized for Ryzen AI 300 series, so this feels like it's worth reporting.
