Getting the same issue on an Acer Nitro 5 with intel i7 and RTX 4060. Thanks to all for this very informative thread. Any update on development, @amrits?
I donāt know if it helps anybody, but just in case a small and very ugly workaround so that I donāt have to plug the monitor in and out every time it freezes. Iām happy for any suggestions for improvements, especially a less energy consuming way to detect if the monitor is frozen. You likely need to adjust the output port.
export __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1;
export __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia;
exec 3< <(glxgears)
while true
do
sleep 6
if read -t 0 -N 0 <&3
then
while read -t 0 -N 0 <&3
do
read <&3
done
echo "everything ok"
else
echo "freeze detected, resetting"
xrandr --output DP-1-0 -r 30
xrandr --output DP-1-0 -r 60
fi
done

6.10.3, i9-13900HX - RTX 4080 Max-Q
This issue is driving me crazy and prevents me from working.
I had to roll back to 555 for now
Iāve just tried 560.35.03 and they have exactly the same freezes in glxgears/vkcube resizing test. There are freezes with both NVidia proprietary and MIT/GPL kernel modules. In all cases Iāve got very high CPU load along with freezes. After some intensive vkcube resizing external monitor totally stuck and Iāve got following results with sysprof:
As you can see, the main cause of high CPU load (and possibly freezes) is NVidia IOCTL handler somewhere in the deep of proprietary kernel module. Why? I donāt know. :-(
Sysprof report for frozen MIT/GPL kernel module setup:
Again, itās NVidiaās module IOCTL handler.
NVidia, whatās wrong with your modules?

I am also experiencing a critical freeze on my 2 external monitors.
Whenever I launch a training with the nvidia GPU the 2 monitor displays freeze.
I tried driver 535 and 550 and they both have this problem.
I am on ubuntu 22.04 and also canāt reboot the normal way. I have to interrupt the system manually. Trying to reboot normally just freezes the internal display.

Experiencing the same, Im on,
OS: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS x86_64
Host: Katana 17 B13VGK REV:1.0
CPU: 13th Gen Intel i9-13900H (20)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Max-Q
Nvidia Driver - 535.183.01
Same issue with freeze when on external monitor(s) with one on HDMI and one on USB-c to HDMI,
I did an experiment where my friend was on a teams call with me screen sharing, and the freeze happened, sound was active, mic worked, cam worked, but even my friend saw that my display was frozen, yet still streaming.
I did not find any fix yet, went through alot of forums, looks like people are having the same issue but they are describing it in different way.
Another thing i agree on to reproduce the freeze is high intensity workload, I get the freeze when im running IDEs and YT along with netflix on the side.
@amrits Please give us constant updates, as this is really affecting way lotta people than just in this thread.

Oh, no, I forgot to celebrate 1-year birthday of this threadā¦
Dear bug report, I hope Nvidia gods have not forsaken you, and wish you some love from Nvidia support this yearā¦ or at lease a confirmation that someone is working on itā¦

Gonna come here regularly and start opening more tickets around.
Letās see how long they can delay a fix.

Well, they reproduced the issue in January External monitor freezes when using dedicated GPU - #141 by amrits and last time confirmed they working on it in February this year External monitor freezes when using dedicated GPU - #152 by amrits, so spamming tickets is unnecessary at this pointā¦ Iām just begging for some feedback, to confirm that they didnāt give up in favor of other āmore importantā issuesā¦
Also, I want to remind (External monitor freezes when using dedicated GPU - #125 by ursom), that my GTX1660Ti has no freezes with 515.105.01 driver on debian-12/xfce-4.18 (or repo driver 510 for Ubuntu) so they broke it ārecentlyāā¦

From this experience Iāve learn that: Unless they open-sourced their drivers completely, I probably wonāt be purchasing another NVIDIA.
Linux makes up for its small market size by using open source development to ensure security and stability. A business like NVIDIA can clearly afford to lose customers like us and still have stocks go to the moon, so Iām not going to take the risk again and buy an NVIDIA product that doesnāt sit (or want to be) part of the open source space.
