First, try slowing down your memory speed settings in the BIOS. Also, I found this: https://www.spinics.net/lists/stable/msg172825.html It seems there have been a lot of race/timing issues fixed in the kernel drm-nouveau driver for the 4.11 version. I would try the latest 4.12-rc3 version (to make sure all those changes made it in there) and see if that helps any: https://www.kernel.org/ As far as startx goes, there might be something here that might help: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=208251 In particular, theNerd247 wrote: ---- Ok. So weirdest thing happened. I went into the UEFI settings and there is a setting called "3D Graphic Acceleration" and I disabled it. I'm not sure if this disabled the GPU or not however. After rebooting I ran startx and everything worked. Could it have been the GPU? --- Lastly, in your kernel log messages dmesg | less what does it say with regard to "[drm]", "kernel modesetting" and "Loading ..... Microcode"?
