After my latest Distro Release update (few days ago), it looks to me that my nvidia card is unstable right now. The only thing i was doing today, was watching a movie and after i was done, i closed the Video Player and went away from PC… Btw. i don’t use Energy Saving Settings to evade bugs.
After i came back i saw a full system freeze, only Steam was running minimized (tray)… nothing else was open… there was just my Desktop which was frozen. :(
TTY wasn’t working, all what i could do was REISUB to restart my System.
Im using the same Distro and my 2080Ti since 5 year’s now stable and never had a freezing Desktop yet… at least when gaming was not involved before.
My System is also good cooled and only my CPU has light OC.
I have to add, that in few rare cases the nvidia flatpak driver’s lead also to system freezes (after i was done with a certain flatpak game) but 9 from 10 times, the nvidia flatpak driver’s was running stable in the past, while Steam Proton Games never crashed my System at all… while playing or after i was done.
Please nvidia dev’s give me stable nvidia driver’s again… when anyone know a solution or workaround please let me know. I just want to have a stable system again.
