hi there,
I’ve been getting a hard freeze the last couple of weeks that I can’t get rid of. I’ve tried PopOS, Fedora, Ubuntu LTS, nvidia drivers 470,515,515, steam native, steam beta and flatpak, older laptop BIOS, external screen, still I see the issue
basically I launch steam using the dedicated nvidia GPU, the hard freeze mostly happens when launching a game, at “compiling vulkan shaders” but can sometimes happen just in the steam menu, ingame ~10mins or after exiting the game.
The issue does not happen when using AMD Vega iGPU, I also could not make the issue happen using a basic Lutris game or unigine benchmark
my laptop is only 6 months old so I am highly doubting this is a physical hardware issue as this (fallen off the bus) error can sometimes suggest.
distro:
ubuntu 22.04 LTS
nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (135.6 KB)
5.15 kernel / 5.17 kernel / 6.0.16 kernel
nvidia driver 470, 515, 525
hardware:
yoga slim 7 pro
5800HC
nvidia MX450 2gb
16gb ram
hoping you can assist! thanks
