![]() This is what I've tried in order to troubleshoot the problem: Nothing in logs, no high CPU usage for a certain process, etc. I can SSH to the computer and kill the game and init 3 followed by init 5 to get back to normal. In both cases the screen freezes, audio loops and the system won't take any input. In Regnum Online I can in best cases play for hours without any lockup, but in Red Eclipse I am lucky to play 30 min without any lockup. It seems like Red Eclipse causes the system to lock up faster than Regnum Online. The crashes can in some rare cases occur directly when starting the game (when initializing the OpenGL context?) but mostly I can play for longer periods of times. These are the games I play, that frequently cause this problem: However, games cause my system to lock up. Normal activities like surfing, chatting, listening to music, programming, watching movies (using vdpau) etc. I just wanted to add that I have the same problem. Have you tried downgrading xorg, nvidia and/or switch nvidia with nouveau? I don't even know what to report, the logs show nothing. I couldn't find a similar issue over bug trackers here on Arch, nvidia or Xorg. When playing games, the GPU hardly gets over 62*C, so I don't think the heat is the problem. I did some benchmarking for the GPU for about 15 minutes, I got it up to 75*C and nothing happened. I got into QuakeWorld and the GPU barely got to 58*C and the input froze, I was about 40 seconds in the game. I can't switch between TTYs, I can't kill the game nor X, all I'm left with is a reboot (I log in through ssh to reboot the machine, so it doesn't completely freeze). I'm playing a game, and then my input (keyboard and mouse) lock up, and a second later, the sound enters a loop. It happened with native games and games running in Wine. Whenever I play games, my system locks up, and it's very random. ![]() As far as i recall this has been happening for over a month now. I have a feeling it may be something to do with either a kernel update or the nvidia driver, but i'm not entirely sure where to start to find what is causing it. The annoying thing is that i cannot find any problems/messages in any log files (at least were i have looked so far). There does not seem to be any logical reason for this. Sometimes the game will run absolutely fine for several hours before locking up the computer, other times it will happen within 30 seconds. but whenever i launch a game (something using opengl, it appears) the system will randomly lock up and become unusable requiring a hard shutdown. I'm not too sure where to start, as this issue seems to be hard to get at.īasically, i will be using my computer to browse, play music, watch films etc. ![]()
