Graphics card crashed

Was playing Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor when the display suddenly shut off, though the audio was still on. Taking off the headset, I heard that some fan in the computer was making a lot of noise, more than I’ve ever heard.

kernel log says this about the event:

Here is the debug log I collected after I restarted: https://transfer.sh/z4bLi/nvidia-bug-report.log.gz

What happened here and is this likely to happen again?

#2

‘Fallen off the bus’ might be due to overheating, problems with power supply among other reasons.

#3

Are there any logs that can provide me more information?

#4

Afterwards, no. To see about overheating, you can use nvidia-smi (or gpu-stat) and sensors to monitor temperatures in the background while gaming and look at it before anything crashes if they’re displaying dangerous values.
