Hi,
I’ve had similar issue as described within this and many other topics.
The display froze on idle, usually when clicking in the browser or doing nothing once every a few days.
After reading most of this forum for the “fallen off the bus” phrase, I tried many approaches including:
- upgrading the drivers
- playing with kernel C-state parameters - NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:01:00): 79, GPU has fallen off the bus - HP Studio G5
- playing with the “irqpoll” option (as “irq nobody cared” log entry was always close to "fallen off the bus " log)
- disabling ACPI power management (idle=nomwait) - GPU has fallen off the bus - #4 by amrits
It was also often suggested that the issue is caused by HW failure, PSU problems and such hardware related issues (as for some minority of people it apparently was the case).
Finally, I think the issue in my case was addressed by disabling PCI-e ASPM in BIOS.
For future readers that will look for this solution, my setup is:
- Intel NUC9 - NUC9VXQNB with the newest BIOS at the moment: QNCFLX70.0077.2024.0801.1649 date: 08/01/2024
- ASUS DUAL GeForce RTX™ 3060 Ti MINI certified by Intel for the above NUC9 device.
- the current Nvidia driver is: 570.124.04, but I used different versions including the stock 535/550 drivers supplied with Ubuntu and changing the driver did not solve the issue
- OS: Linux Mint 22.1 Xia base: Ubuntu 24.04 noble
So, if you have this issue on the above hardware, the first thing you should do is to upgrade the BIOS and disable the PCI-e ASPM somewhere in: Advanced / Power / Secondary Power Settings / PCIe ASPM Support
