Depending on your processor and instrumentation on your motherboard btop may help you determine if you have an overheating problem with your processor. Remember that the NVidia driver is actually CPU code run by the processor and residing in memory so not every 'GPU' problem is in the GPU. Good lluck, Mark
[gentoo-user] Graphics problem, especially when running Firefox - kde environment
Dear all, Back story, I'm in Perth Australia, hence summer has just finished. Summer here means long runs of about 40ºC during the day and nights of about 35ºC at midnight. 12 months ago, I started getting a dialogue popup that said: KWin Window Manager Desktop effects were restarted due to a graphics reset This would pop up, particularly when doing "deep research" with Firefox on Youtube. Firefox would freeze for a few seconds, but the audio would continue, the screen would do a refresh/flash sort of thing and on goes the "research". As the day would progress, and the home office would heat up, 35ºC during the day, these popups would pop up more and more and the machine would nearly become unusable. It was also accompanied by the following in dmesg: ... ... [ 1473.478242] NVRM: GPU at PCI::0a:00: GPU-810c3175-ac6b-0de3-ff85-dce410a501dc [ 1473.478246] NVRM: Xid (PCI::0a:00): 32, pid=3087, Channel ID 0020 intr0 0004 [ 1473.478530] NVRM: Xid (PCI::0a:00): 32, pid=3087, Channel ID 0020 intr0 0004 [ 1480.030284] NVRM: Xid (PCI::0a:00): 32, pid=3087, Channel ID 0020 intr0 0004 [ 1480.030618] NVRM: Xid (PCI::0a:00): 32, pid=3087, Channel ID 0020 intr0 0004 [ 2093.087760] NVRM: Xid (PCI::0a:00): 32, pid=3087, Channel ID 0020 intr0 0004 [ 2093.088145] NVRM: Xid (PCI::0a:00): 32, pid=3087, Channel ID 0020 intr0 0004 [ 2126.588242] NVRM: Xid (PCI::0a:00): 32, pid=3087, Channel ID 0020 intr0 0004 ... ... This started last summer and then as things cooled down, occurred less and eventually disappeared, winter time. This summer it's back and even worse so I upgraded from an nVidia 1060 to a 3050 - the thinking being the card was over heating. As you guessed the problem is still here. I've found the xid errors page on nVidia's site but was wondering if anyone else had come across this error and has any advice? Thanks in advance for any thoughts, Andrew
