Hi All,
I've been getting random crashes of X on my development workstation with
messages like:
on console: cpu #X stuck in [X:...]
.xsession-errors contain things like: "gnome-session: Fatal IO error 11
(Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0."
/var/log/messages has "NVRM: GPU at 0000:01:00.0 has fallen off the bus."
Most things I've been able to find suggest a driver vs. kernel problem
so I updated to the latest driver from NVidia (346.35) with no luck.
Have others seen this? Any hints? Could it be the NVidia card failing?
Thanks,
Joe
Hi,
I have seen this once before with a persons system. The issue in that
case was a bad physical connection. Removing the card, cleaning the
connections and reseating the card corrected the issue.

This took a while because I had to finish a project and couldn't afford random
reboots, but I took Phil's advice and used the professional connector cleaner
AKA pencil eraser on the connectors, reseated the card. I have now gone 4 days
without an incident whereas I was forced to reboot 3 or 4 times per day.
Thanks Phil!
Joe
Just a note about pink erasers - don't. They contain a lot of sulfur. That
corrodes contacts rather rapidly. So the fix may be lamentably temporary and a
re-fix may be impossible after the second or third time.
