Ubuntu 18 NVRM: Xid 6,12,13,69 at old hardware

Hello All,

Not sure it is right place for posting this. Excuse me if it is so.

Errors in dmesg:
NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:08:00): 6, PE0008
NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:08:00): 12, COCOD 00000002 e0012d00 0000502d 00000864 ffffffff
NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:08:00): 13, Graphics Exception: ChID 0010, Class 00008397, Offset 00000e08, Data 04380000
NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:08:00): 69, Class Error: ChId 000e, Class 0000502d, Offset 00000250, Data ffffffff, ErrorCode 0000000c

I got this errors via executing command “grep -R “NVRM: Xid” /var/log/” and copying/pasting unique errors here.
Errors comes randomly, but always starts from error 13, and after error 13 I see 69 with 6 or 12 or all together. System finaly hangs, and I should reset it.

Looks like fix is in adding intel_iommu=off to kernel boot parameters.

After plaing few days with this card I decided change OS to Win7. Got near same error (0x00000124) pointing me to problems with hardware.

Final conclusion in my case - it is hardware problem.

How I fixed it (probably temporary): I disassembled card and heat up chip for 5-10 mins at 200-250C. Now FurMark does not crash system. Will try to play some games, while I am at Win7 ;)
