Description Ronald 2013-10-17 07:37:47 UTC
My card is a GF119 (NVD9). A relatively new card on an aged board (Asus A8N-E).

It seems to lock-up at random moments, Magic SysRq does nothing. Only a hard reboot is possible.

Sometimes it happens when the contents of the screen is changing, sometimes not. I found it to have locked after an idle period a couple of times.

I'm currently testing the nvidia proprietary blob after swapping out RAM (which was not it). This all started after I swapped this card for another broken nVidia card. But I figured it might be coincidence.

If the nvidia proprietary driver proofs to not suffer from this issue. I will try to test the nouveau driver with as many features disabled (e.g. PCIE) and see if that helps.

Any suggestions are really welcome.

Card specs below.

Comment 1 Ilia Mirkin 2013-10-17 19:49:40 UTC
Did this ever work properly, or has it always failed? (Or is this too new of a setup?)

First order of business would be to try disabling MSI -- that will be off for the final 3.12 release (although will be making a come-back for 3.13 in all likelihood). Try booting with nouveau.config=NvMSI=0. [I assume you're using a 3.12-rc based on the messages you gave, but having a full dmesg is always preferable.]

Would it be possible to set up a serial console or netconsole to see if there are any further messages?
Comment 2 Ronald 2013-10-18 08:11:14 UTC
This never worked, unfortunately. I got the card a few months ago.

When I got the card, MSI was disabled in nouveau. It then locked up as well. I was hoping this would fix it.

I know netconsole, I think I tried but that gave no results.

Will attach laptop and try again when I have some time.

But I'm testing the nvidia blob first to rule out a broken card, is that ok?
Comment 3 Ilia Mirkin 2015-11-07 08:04:42 UTC
Does this still happen with recent kernels?
Comment 4 Ronald 2015-11-07 16:29:07 UTC
The mobo died a while ago. So the problem is solved.

Thank you for your effort.
