Hi,
Recently, my GPU suddenly stopped working. Along with the additional details in my prose below, I have attached the nvidia-bug-report.log. I would also like to preface this with I believe this could very well be a hardware issue, but thought I would come here to see if there is anything I can try.
As the log states, I have an EVGA NVIDIA GTX 1080, and it has worked very well for years. Recently, it started occasionally giving ‘green screens’ where the normal output to a monitor would become intensely saturated with green. This seemed to go away with an unplug+replug or restarting the monitor. One day this happened again, but I was done using the computer so I just shut it down for the night by tapping the PC’s power button. The next day, I turned on the computer again, and got no output on any monitor. Oddly enough, after I believe the computer boots into an OS, the monitor would awaken from sleep just with a black screen. I will note that I never see anything - in BIOS, Linux or Windows. As the log states, I have an AMD without integrated graphics, so I have only been able to debug via ssh. I do have an old GPU (GTX 750ti) that I plugged swapped in, and everything works (BIOS, Windows, Linux). The 1080 does light up and run its fans. I recently (post-breaking) cleaned it and apply fresh thermal paste.
A couple notable snippets from the bug report:
