We have many Dell Optiplex 380/390 which have run CentOS 6.5 happily for years. We upgraded some to CentOS 7 and have intermittent screen flashing and occasional blue screen (not like Windows, the screen just goes shades of blue and locks up) Saw this in the log and did it: Oct 6 11:06:47 seattle154 kernel: [drm] GPU HANG: ecode -1:0x00000000, reason: Kicking stuck semaphore on render ring, action: continue Oct 6 11:06:47 seattle154 kernel: [drm] GPU hangs can indicate a bug anywhere in the entire gfx stack, including userspace. Oct 6 11:06:47 seattle154 kernel: [drm] Please file a _new_ bug report on bugs.freedesktop.org against DRI -> DRM/Intel Oct 6 11:06:47 seattle154 kernel: [drm] drm/i915 developers can then reassign to the right component if it's not a kernel issue. Oct 6 11:06:47 seattle154 kernel: [drm] The gpu crash dump is required to analyze gpu hangs, so please always attach it. Oct 6 11:06:47 seattle154 kernel: [drm] GPU crash dump saved to /sys/class/drm/card0/error
OK, so apparently you can't copy that "file" so I lost the contents of the crash dump. I'll try again next time.
That dmesg GPU hang report is unrelated to the screen flashes and eventual freeze.
