Hi.
I’m getting hangs with these “Xid” messages on my new PC, which has a Gigabyte GTX 780, whereby a single application — usually a game, though I suspect this might have hit KWin or X11 at some point, as I’ve had a few system-wide hangs — will have its graphics hang and one of the messages below appear in the kernel log. Sometimes a new frame (or part thereof) will be rendered, though it will sometimes have graphical “glitches”, either as though only part of the display (usually in a few contiguous rectangular regions) will update (typically the very edge of the screen will not).
While I’ve definitely had this issue in the recent port of Portal 2, it appears very quickly (within a minute or two of starting) and reproducibly in both “Crusader Kings 2” and Double Fine’s “Steed” prototype from the 2014 “Amnesia Fortnight”, running under wine 1.7.13. Most other OpenGL programs (including many games, albeit usually less taxing ones) can run for a considerable time with no such problems.
The messages which appear are of the form:
NVRM: GPU at 0000:01:00: GPU-51e8de7f-e984-ff21-7f5e-e9ef3d2d36fc

The nvidia kernel module also complains about a lack of VGA console, and VT switching does not work. The system boots from EFI, and I’ve been unable to find a way of getting a VGA compatible console out of it.
At one point, during the shutdown procedure, I got a:

The system has got other “BUG: Soft Lockup” issues which do not have the nvidia module appear in their stack traces and which may not be nVidia related at all: the system is new and could have other, as yet unidentified issues.
I’ve seen this issue on Fedora 20. The machine has had a complete, exhaustive memory test with MemTest86+ which showed no issues. The graphics card does not appear to be overheating, and is otherwise working well. The system has two 1440x900 monitors, connected over DVI.
The system also has an intel integrated GPU (it is a desktop with an Intel Core i7 4770K CPU). I’ve disabled this in the UEFI BIOS, and am booting with intel_iommu=off, but it does not seem to help. I’ve also reseated the GPU, again this had no effect.
The output from nvidia-bug-report.sh is located here:

Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide, or if this is a known issue or a hardware fault: I am anxious to get this issue resolved.
