Hi. I'm having strange problem. Under PopOS (latest version, fully updated, I've tested various nvidia drivers versions there, installed fresh system, ...) and on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (clean install, default nvidia driver installed by os) my GPU (or driver) just crashes, display/s (tested with one and two connected) got disconnected ("no signal"). System itself runs, just app that used the GPU crashes - I've also tested this with one screen connected to iGPU.
It happens when I start playing game using Lutris (windows game), Steam, or just rendering in Blender using GPU.
On nVidia forums I got few suggestions:
- "GPU is just dying" - impossible: it works perfectly under Windows (I'm mostly using this for rendering in Blender), games won't crash, ...
- "the psu is breaking down on power spikes" - same thing, PSU is ok, I have 850W platinum one with i7-13700K and RTX 3060Ti, so it's powerfull enough with big safety margin. Also, under Windows, I overclocked CPU (5.1 GHz on all cores) - computer works there like a charm.
My specs:
ROG Strix Z790-I Gaming - first with older BIOS that I was using before, then, after problem started occurring, I have updated to the latest one
Intel i7-13700K
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060Ti Eagle
ram - tested this with two different sets of Kingoston DDR5-5200, one 32GB, second 64GB
nvme ssd - also tested with two different drives (one Sandisk, one WD Black)
nVidia log report:
nvidia-bug-report.log.gz
this one is from my first install of PopOS, which I was using for work.
Doesn't matter what I try - fresh install, PopOS or Ubuntu, different nvme SSD (WD Black was giving me some errors - I switched port, then changed to Sandisk), different memory set, different PSU (got second computer with 650W PSU) - nothing helps. Sometimes it's ok for few renders / an hour of gaming, sometimes it crashes (on fresh OS install!) just after starting Blender.
Just reinstalled Windows - tested Blender, some games - rock-stable, as always.
Any ideas what else should I check / test? I'm really desperate to get rid of windows... - but for now need to finish work
