After upgrading from 570.86.16 to 570.124.04 X hangs on startup to the point I cannot even log in via a text console. I’m running OpenSUSE 15.6 and the 6.13.5 kernel and an RTX4090 and four monitors. X hangs on startup in the kernel consuming 100% of the CPU every time. X doesn’t fully start and I …

I’m having the same issue. My PC “hangs” at SDDM every second boot. By hanging I mean the mouse really slows down and lags behind movement. I can type my password and try to login but then the PC just stucks. I also can’t open a TTY. I’m on Arch Linux / KDE and with a RTX 3090. Hadn’t any issue …

[image] dmakc: options nvidia NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0 This option actually made it worse for me. I used the closed source Nvidia driver and my rig refused to display anything after the boot logo (and the input for decryption of the hard drive) in 19/20 cases. After I finally managed to lo…

[image] user100624: This option actually made it worse for me. Hmm… This is very strange, as for me. I thought that this option could help or change nothing. And I can’t understand, why it could break display at early boot. Did you try previous driver version? May be this is hardware issue?

I downgraded to 570.86.16 and everything works reliably again. PC reliably shows the login screen and so far no freezing or whatsoever. Will run games later but at least I can use the PC now without rebooting 20 times. So it can’t be a hardware issue. It is the newly released driver. Sad story, I …

[image] user100624: I downgraded to 570.86.16 and everything works reliably again. Beta driver works better than release? Wonderful…

Don’t know if this is the beta driver, but this was the driver I’ve been using before according to my pacman.log

This is definitely beta driver: [beta-driver-image]

Thanks for pointing that out. I wasn’t aware of that. I somehow thought that the nvidia package in Arch Linux repositories always points to a ‘stable’ version. I was obviously wrong about that. However my session still didn’t crash so I will stick to this driver for the time being.
