2 to 3 hours? Are you sure your system isn't overheating? I had a similar problem when playing games for extended periods of time on my machine, and lately realized that my CPU tended to run VERY hot and would destabilize after extended sessions of gaming, or other CPU-intensive work. I moved my tower to a more ventilated area, and purchased some quality thermal compound for my CPU and things have been much better since.
On an "This doesn't answer your question, and I'm not your mother, but I'm pretending to be" note, you really should be taking breaks every hour, getting up and walking away from the computer for about 10 minutes - much better for not only the eyes, but the rest of the body which you'd give a bit of a stretch. ;) - Cerebral On Thu, 15 Jun 2006 22:03:30 +0200, Christian Galander wrote > Hello Peoples, > > i have a problem. > when i play e.g. Enemy Territory for 2 - 3 hours, the system lockup. > if i log in via ssh, i can enter any commands for max. 2 minutes, > then ssh lockup too > > i post the /var/log/errors.log ... > > Jun 11 12:57:10 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 6, PE0002 180c 00cb00ca > 0009bee0 3034374b 00130014 > Jun 11 12:57:10 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 28, L1 -> L0 > Jun 11 12:57:10 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 6, PE0002 1a38 01000100 > 00011008 00000000 00000000 > Jun 11 12:57:10 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 28, L1 -> L0 > Jun 11 12:57:10 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 6, PE0000 1a38 01000100 > 00000000 01017c00 00000000 > Jun 11 12:57:10 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 28, L0 -> L0 > Jun 11 20:05:00 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 6, PE0002 180c 000d0012 > 00110e30 00110010 ff1f1817 > Jun 11 20:05:07 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 28, L1 -> L0 > Jun 11 20:05:07 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 6, PE0000 0300 001b0070 > 00000000 073b4300 00000003 > Jun 11 20:05:07 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 28, L0 -> L0 > Jun 11 20:05:09 itschi BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0! > Jun 11 20:05:32 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 8, Channel 00000020 > Jun 11 20:05:40 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 8, Channel 00000020 > Jun 11 20:05:54 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 8, Channel 00000020 > Jun 11 20:06:09 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 8, Channel 00000020 > Jun 11 20:06:24 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 8, Channel 00000020 > Jun 11 20:06:38 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 8, Channel 00000020 > Jun 12 20:36:27 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 6, PE0000 180c 01b601bb > 0000f678 00000000 02740273 > Jun 12 20:36:27 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 28, L1 -> L0 > Jun 12 20:36:27 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 6, PE0002 180c 01b201b1 > 000ccf90 00000000 00000000 > Jun 12 20:36:27 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 28, L0 -> L0 > Jun 12 20:36:27 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 6, PE0002 0184 beef0201 > 00000000 beef3910 00000000 > Jun 12 20:36:27 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 28, L1 -> L0 > Jun 12 20:38:09 itschi usb 1-1: device not accepting address 2, > error -71 > Jun 13 05:03:41 itschi sdb: assuming drive cache: write through > Jun 13 05:03:41 itschi sdb: assuming drive cache: write through > Jun 14 19:06:55 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 6, PE0000 030c 07a75e00 > 0000fdf8 00000003 00000000 > Jun 14 20:21:25 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 6, PE0002 180c 00030001 > 0009fd20 42490000 80000000 > Jun 14 20:21:25 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 28, L1 -> L0 > Jun 14 20:21:33 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 12, COCOD 00000000 > 01014300 00000043 00000200 076f6800 > Jun 14 20:21:33 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 28, L0 -> L0 > Jun 14 20:21:34 itschi BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0! > Jun 14 20:21:55 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 8, Channel 00000020 > Jun 14 20:23:23 itschi usb 1-1: device not accepting address 2, > error -71 > Jun 14 21:25:25 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 13, 0002 beef3097 > 00004497 00001a30 00013844 00000002 > Jun 14 21:25:25 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 28, L1 -> L0 > Jun 14 21:25:30 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 6, PE0002 180c 01ef01f1 > 00110e94 00000203 00000000 > Jun 14 21:25:30 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 28, L1 -> L0 > Jun 14 21:25:30 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 6, PE0000 180c 02210222 > 00000000 00000003 00000000 > Jun 14 21:25:30 itschi NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 28, L1 -> L0 > > The system is the following: > Intel Pentium IV 2.4 GHz - Hyperthreading > 1.5 GByte DDR-SD-RAM PC400 > 80 GByte Harddisk Seagate S-ATA > Leadtek A6200-TDH128 (NVIDIA GeForce 620 GPU) AGP 8x > Creative Soundblaster Live!Value PCI > Arch Linux 0.7.2 (Gimmick) > Kernel 2.6.16.20 (kernel26-ARCH) _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
