The driver has been crashing randomly leaving the display black and fans spinning at maximum. This has been going for about as long as I’ve had Linux installed, that being about half a year.
It’s not load dependent, I’ve had crashes with system idling. Sometimes happens multiple times in several minutes. I’ve even had it crash when rebooting from a previous crash. I’ve also had the system go a week+ without any crashes.
I did send an email to linux-bugs@nvidia.com, though I don’t know if I should keep doing that in the future or just post bug reports here.
It’s very annoying and sours the otherwise great Linux experience, so I’m really looking forward to this getting fixed sometime in the future. If there’s any additional information I can provide to make it happen sooner please let me know.
