Hi,

I am experiencing an issue with my NVIDIA graphics card. I am seeing the following error message in my system logs (sudo dmesg):

I am running Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS.
My system specifications are:
CPU: 12th Gen Intel i7-12700H (20) @ 4.600GHz
GPU: Intel Alder Lake-P
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile / Max-Q

I read that XID 79 could mean a thermal or PSU issue but the laptop feels cold to the touch and I got it 2 days ago so would be surprised if it it was broken.

I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions on how to resolve this issue. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Xid 79 on PSU or thermal issues only applies to desktop gpus, not mobile.
On notebooks, Xid 79 previously mostly meant a defective gpu (apart from some distinctive notebook models).
Unfortunately, a new issue arose on systems like yours, with 12th gen intel gpu. Something is broken in pcie power management with those (on some notebooks, not all). When the gpu reaches its lowest performance level for some time, the cpu seems to cut off power to the bus, thus killing the gpu.
On some notebook models, this is fixable by upgrading to kernel 5.19+, e.g. by using the liquorix ppa or upgrading to ubuntu 22.10. On others, this doesn’t help, only setting “max performance” in nvidia-settings as a power consuming work-around.
Please check for a bios update and upgrade kernel.

Wow thanks for the reply! So could it be that the GPU is now broken and I need to send it back for repair (under warranty). Or is it just that changing some settings could fix it?

I’ll try do the changes you suggested now!

I’ve got latest kernel (6.0.9-060009-generic) and latest bios.

The GPU did work for the first day I had it, then worked/started erroring the next time I turned it on, and now doesn’t seem to connect at all and isn’t showing up on lshw

If it’s now gone from lspci, it’s broken, warranty case.

ok, thank you for your help! - is there a guide i can follow for when it gets repaired so the same issue doesn’t happen again?

After doing a windows update the GPU is working again on the windows side, I completely removed ubuntu and windows and reinstalled and the GPU came back to life! I would much rather use ubuntu (I struggle using Windows now) how can I set it up so it doesn’t fail again?

Is there a guaranteed way to reinstall ubuntu without getting the same errors?
