Screen turns off and fan noise rises up while using the nvidia proprietary driver

I’m getting my screen turned off when gaming and on desktop, it gets turned off really fast and the fans rise in speed greatly while on desktop, in game the screen also turns off but I didn’t experience the rise of fans speed I think.

This started to happen just a few days ago.

First it turned off only a few minutes in game, now it turns off while on desktop too in less than one minute rendering my desktop useless because the only way to have image in the screen again is by restarting the PC, I removed the nvidia drivers and while using nouveau and on desktop it is fine with the screen not turning off.

I’m using an EVGA 1080 Ti with 440.36 drivers on fedora silverblue 31 - Linux 5.3.14-300.fc31.x86_64

Unfortunately, there are no errors visible in the provided log. Did you create it immediately after hitting the issue?

No, I just run it while it was stable, I’ve now put a new file after the problem happened and run the tool under ssh.

[  101.698990] NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:0b:00): 79, pid=823, GPU has fallen off the bus.
[  101.698991] NVRM: GPU 0000:0b:00.0: GPU has fallen off the bus.

Points to insufficient/broken PSU or overheating.

I disconnected the power cable for the GPU and connected to other slot on the PSU and with limited testing I did not experience the issue yet, also I was having NVRM MMU write and read errors pertaining to steam app what does that mean?

Edit:

XID 31 can be caused by many things, was it really just steam, i.e. the integrated browser or did you also play a game, e.g. using proton/dxvk. Furthermore, are you using the stock fedora gnome or some other DE?

I have got the error again today and I didn’t play any game on steam, only browsed the store.

Yes I am using the stock gnome DE.

please check if running steam with the env variable __GL_MaxFramesAllowed=1 set, e.g. running
__GL_MaxFramesAllowed=1 steam
mitigates the issue.

If I remember correctly that mitigated the errors when I tested so it isn’t important? Should I open a steam bug on github?
