Been redirected here by support due to using Linux as a daily driver. After replacing my ancient GTX 770 and with a new RTX 4060 I’ve been having numerous hard lockups. The system occasional lock-ups when: Hovering over a YouTube video thumbnail. Playing a game while having YouTube running on an…

how many displays do you have? Two identical Dell U2412M displays, both connected via DisplayPort. Desktop resolution is 3840x1200. Note that this information is present in nvidia-bug-report: [ 15.654] (--) NVIDIA(GPU-0): DELL U2412M (DFP-1): connected [ 15.654] (--) NVIDIA(GPU-0): DELL U2…

Its been about a month of multiple crashes daily. Half the games I own are no longer playable. Can’t even watch a video while browsing the web. No response, no suggestions, no fix, nothing. Very disappointing. Are my only options RMA / refund?

Another month passed. Upgraded kernel to 5.15.0-87. Upgraded driver to 535.113.01. System still locks up frequently. Freezes have been “different” however since upgrade: Able to load the Dyson Sphere Program savegame now that previously froze within 5 seconds and play for ~15-20 minutes before i…

The nvidia-bug-report.log didn’t contain any errors. Can you ssh into the system while frozen to create a new log?

No. The system goes into a hard freeze. Pressing Num Lock no longer toggles the LED meaning regular interrupts are no longer being serviced. Hard freeze = no logs, nothing. Dead as a brick. All I can do is power cycle. I’ve been trying to enable the NMI watchdog specifically designed for these kind…

That rather sounds like a mainboard issue, maybe the Ada is overstretching the voltage regulators/pcie bus.

With a 900 watt power supply, less than 30% GPU load on a motherboard with loads of overclocking features? Shouldn’t be. I could test that hypothesis with some CUDA workload but its extremely unlikely. Before this I had a GTX 770 (230 watts), now a RTX 4060 Ti (160 watts). There should be no issues…

It’s not about total power or PSU but the mainboard’s pcie power. Specified for up to 75W but newer gpus are known to draw more. You could try to limit clocking to prevent the gpu from going into boost state nvidia-smi -lgc 300,1500 and see if that helps.

Huh… well that’s interesting. I’ve been testing for a couple days with: nvidia-smi -pm 1 nvidia-smi --lock-gpu-clocks 405 -m 1 nvidia-smi -pl 100 I didn’t read your last comment until now and it took me a while to figure out how to do it because NVIDIA settings doesn’t let you lock the clock spe…
