Hard system crash/reboot with Nvidia GPU

Support Gaming
,
1

Hi all,

Today I installed a Nvidia 3090 that just came in, into a fairly new system. I installed the nonfree drivers and added nvidia_drm.modeset=1 nvidia_drm.fbdev=1 to the boot parameters and nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm to the kernel modules.

Everything seemed to be going well, but then I was downloading a game through Steam and the system just rebooted out of the blue. No panic message or nothing, and after rebooting and checking journalctl I didn’t see anything particularly concerning. It happened again an hour or so later, also while downloading a game. Now, it happens consistently when launching a particular game (The Long Dark). I am able to launch and play other games without crashing, so I am not sure what it could be. The sudden reboot without warning almost seems like a power supply issue, but the system is never loaded when it happens. I suspect it’s something to do with the Nvidia drivers but I have no way to verify that.

I’m running KDE Plasma on Wayland, and I have tried falling back to X11, with the same results. I’m also running the 6.13.0-rc2-1-MANJARO kernel, as the 6.12 kernel doesn’t support my mobo’s ethernet chip.

I’ve uploaded my journalctl logs here, and I will post anything else that may help people help me.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Some system information will be beneficial for those who wish to help (see below).

You say the crashing only happens with one game – are you certain it’s compatible with your hardware? Perhaps it needs more memory available; I might guess there is also no swap configured.

These are only vague guesses, as we don’t as yet know much about your system, except that you have a new Nvidia card.

Kernel 6.13.0-1 is currently in both Unstable and Testing branches, that is, if switching branches is a consideration. Whether that will go some way toward solving your issue, I can’t say.

Regards.

Hey, thanks for the quick reply.

My system specs are as follows:
128GB DDR5 (passed full memtest86 when I installed/configured it)
Ryzen 9 7950X
Gigabyte X870 AORUS WIFI7
850W PSU
Nvidia driver version: 550.144.03

I don’t have any swap configured, however I’m pretty sure that’s not an issue with the amount of memory I have. Also, since I originally posted this, I tried the 6.12 kernel, and got the same results. I’d also like to point out that I was got these crashes/reboots a couple of times before trying to launch this particular game, they just became consistent/reproducible when launching the game.

System Information:

Thanks for making an attempt – that might be useful for someone wishing to buy a computer, but for Support purposes, not so much.

The best way to provide system information that might be useful is to ask your system directly, using the inxi command (as already given above):

inxi --admin --verbosity=8 --filter --no-host --width

Regards.

I am not all that familiar with Nvidia - I have done some testing a couple a years back using Nvidia Quadro - but I sinced moved my systems to use AMD GPU.

Especially your CPU draws attention and your kenel is the early stage rc.

My suggestion is to switch branch to testing or unstable - as it provides 6.13.0 release kernel.

 $ mbn info linux613 -q | grep -e 'Branch' -e 'Version'
Branch         : unstable
Version        : 6.13.0-1
Branch         : testing
Version        : 6.13.0-1
Branch         : stable
Version        : 6.13.0rc2-1

package: manjaro-check-repos (remember mbn update)

Testing branch also has kernel 6.13.0, if the OP does not want to switch to Unstable branch:

mbn info linux613 -q | grep -v 'Packager'

that reminds me - I have to remember to update before I compare :facepalm:

I changed to Unstable as @linux-aarhus suggested and the game no longer crashes the system at least. It just fails to launch now. I can look more after work but I need to figure out where Steam logs failed game launches. If anyone knows in the meantime and can save me the time of looking for those logs, it’d be appreciated

10

Update, I am still getting the crashes. As stated earlier, I switched to the Unstable branch, updated my system, and got the stable/release 6.13 kernel in the process.

At that point, The Long Dark was no longer crashing the system, but I started Bioshock Infinite, which I was able to play before on the 6.13-rc2 kernel and stable branch earlier, and it got into the 2K title screen and the system crashed and rebooted.

I then thought that maybe the unstable branch was causing a different issue, so I moved back to testing (keeping the 6.13 release kernel). I also disabled my integrated GPU via the BIOS and reinstalled the nvidia drivers via mhwd.

Now, simply opening Steam to the Store/Library causes the crash, before ever launching a game at all. A moment ago, it also crashed a few seconds after logging in and getting to the desktop.

I am wondering at this point if it is a hardware issue with the new card and if so, how to nail that down. I should add that I did not purchase this card brand new, it was purchased on Ebay in “like new” condition, but it is possible that the seller offloaded a faulty card onto me. According to their website, EVGA does offer warranty service for second-hand cards, but I would like to somehow confirm it’s a hardware problem or at least firm that up before pursuing that route. I have my old 1080ti I can swap back in, but I don’t know what that would rule out, considering it is a completely different, much older card.

11

I wouldn’t be too surprised if the card has been “cooked” i.e. using it for stuff like crypto-mining. Especially if the price was suspiciously low for a card of that type. :man_shrugging:

I won the bid at $820, which was a tad lower than comparable listings, but I didn’t think it was suspiciously low.

I’m thinking what I may do is install Windows (is that a dirty word here?) onto a second drive and see if I get crashes there. If so, I would be a lot more confident in a hardware issue and I would move forward with a warranty process. Or at that point I may even go through eBay’s buyer protections. It would give me more options and more peace of mind to know it’s not a kernel bug or something.

Good idea trying it with Windows, IMHO. I don’t touch it with a barge-pole normally, but I guess it does have its uses. :wink:

One thing I forgot to mention: disconnect the Linux drive before installing Windows on the other one, to avoid messing up your bootloader, etc. .:wink:

Latest update:

I installed Windows, and it did indeed crash, while doing nothing in particular (had just stopped a stress test program and was downloading another).

I went back to Linux, and I was able to trigger the crash pretty consistently by just scrolling through Steam’s store page. I swapped in my old 1080ti, and I actually got a crash on that too, so I considered the 3090 ruled out. I started planning on bringing my PSU back to Best Buy and exchanging it, just to rule that out too.

I was reading through forums and someone suggested disabling any XMP profiles/memory overclocking. I was running an EXPO profile, but I had run memtest86 after setting it so I hadn’t thought anything of it, but this was before installing a GPU. I was getting desperate, so I tried disabling it anyway, and I haven’t been able to trigger a crash since. It’s only been about 10 minutes, but it was happening pretty consistently in Steam earlier so I think this might have been it. Somehow, installing a GPU must have thrown off the memory stability. I’m also wondering if anyone has seen something like this before.

I’m planning on re-enabling it tonight and running memtest86 again, but between now and then I’m going to use Manjaro normally and see if it crashes again.

I note that you’re using F3j which is a beta BIOS.

As a rule, unless a beta BIOS has a fix for a specific issue, it is generally recommended to choose the latest non-beta BIOS.

Whether this (in combination with other factors) is contributing to these crashes, I can’t say; but, it’s worth consideration.

Regards.

18

Where on the Gigabyte download page does it say it’s a beta? I’m not arguing with you, just trying to understand how I would know that.

Also, still getting the crashes, the memory settings didn’t completely fix it.

19

The letter following the number usually indicates a beta BIOS. Most manufacturers have long adopted a similar naming convention; Gigabyte is no exception.

Regards.

I’ll also add that being a beta BIOS doesn’t necessarily mean it will be problematic, either; but, history has shown they can be.

It should probably go without saying, there is usually no warranty on second-hand goods; unless perhaps to a limited degree on a refurbished product (I suppose that would depend on whosoever refurbished it). eBay would likely be the better path to a resolution, if it came to that.

I have been cheated on ebay - with a defect cpu - and the seller told me I was an idiot.

That said - it could be the GPU has been used for crypto mining and found to be bad at it …
