Hello! I’ve recently bought a new PC, it has RTX 5060.
I experience frequent crashes, and those crashes, according to logs, are because of GPU/Driver problems.
The seller told me they stress tested the PC(on windows), so I’m unsure if this is a hardware or software issue(I use driver 580.95). Can someone help?
Thanks for the quick reply! I haven’t tried other drivers to be honest, will give it a shot.
I run journalctl --since “2025-12-20 00:00:00” --until “2025-12-21 23:59:59” --no-pager | grep -iE ‘nvidia.*error|nvidia.*fail|GPU.*error|drm.*nvidia.*ERROR|NVRM|Xid|modeset.*ERROR|RmInitAdapter’ and it showed my plenty of stuff, I assume important stuff is this
