Thanks for asking!

Top posting is (still) strongly discouraged.  The preference
is to reply below the text to which you are replying, while
avoiding quoting the entire message and replying at the
bottom.


I suspect that one reason top posting is strongly discouraged
is that it correlates strongly with failure to trim.
With top post, quite often most of the quotations will
be boilerplate that should almost always be removed.

No log errors suggests kernel / OS freeze, which to me says that it
isn't an application problem, but something that affects integrity of
the system.  Power fluctuations?  Memory issues?


afaik know power isnt a problem, but on posting did suggest that.

the 32 GB memory is new.

publish the api of their graphics cards, the open source driver is
reverse engineered, and can have subtle instabilities that lead to
occasional freezes like this.  I used to see them when I ran nvidia
graphics and nouveau.  They usually resulted from a null pointer being
used by the kernel.


RPMFUSION  lags behind the pace of kernels. Check to see if they have 
the one for the kernel you are wanting to use. NVIDIA also lags but 
lately there have been patches for their proprietary drivers for new 
kernel series before RPMFUSION does the upgrade.

So far my gt730 with gddr5 seems to work just fine with the nvidia
driver, so that should be solid.  I think I am 2-3 kernels back from
the most recent.  Mine is the version from rpmfusion.  I don't believe
I ran the open source driver for very long.

32gb is enough that you should not have any issues with swapping.

I have not had a lot of luck getting crash dumps to work on my
crashing machine, but if it is a real hardware crash often they just
reset at the bios level and they don't crash dump.


ctrl-alt-f[1/2/3/4/5] will get you from graphics to virt console
assuming it is not dead.

when it crashes does it stay locked up?  if it does switch to a text
console after you logout and the kernel crash message may still be on
the screen in the morning.

I don't know the equivalent for that card, but the AMD cards seem to 
have lower cost for equivalent performance.  Check the benchmarking 
sites for details.  However, unless you're playing recent high-end

binaries, you will have to either turn off UEFI, or learn how to sign

I think the usual solution to this is to go to rpmfusion.org and
install the proprietary binary blob from nvidia for your generation of
device, and also akmod so the drivers get rebuilt with each new kernel.
I recall that there is a set of instructions on their site for how to do
this.

Hi,

Thanks for asking!

Top posting is (still) strongly discouraged.  The preference
is to reply below the text to which you are replying, while
avoiding quoting the entire message and replying at the
bottom.

The list guidelines, which are included in the footer of
each message -- and were quoted twice in the message I'm
replying to ;) -- state (in the "Proper posting style"
section¹):

Top posting is replying to a message on "top" of the
quoted text of the previous correspondence. This is
highly unwanted in mailing lists because it increases
the size of the daily digests to be sent out & is highly
confusing and incoherent.  By default, most email
clients use this (includes gmail & hotmail). Please,
remove the irrelevant part of the previous
communication(in case of more than a single
correspondence) and use bottom, interleaved posting.

Do not over-quote by the hierarchy level in the
correspondence.

Bottom, interleaved posting is replying to the relevant
parts of the previous correspondence just below the
block(s) of sentences. For a comment to another block of
sentences of the same quoted text, you should move below
that relevant block again. Do not reply below the whole
of the quoted text. Also remove any irrelevant text.

Please provide URLs to articles wherever possible. Avoid
cutting and pasting whole articles especially
considering the fact that all may not be interested.
Pasting whole articles may also amount to copyright
violations, which is not something that this list
encourages.

Read the above mentioned pdf file on mailing list
guidelines by Shakthi Kannan :

http://www.shakthimaan.com/downloads/glv/presentations/mailing-list-etiquette.pdf.
The illustrative document should clear all doubts.

afaik know power isnt a problem, but on posting did suggest that.

the 32 GB memory is new.

Was it ever working or is this a newly installed system?  If it had
been working, I'd try rebooting to an older kernel.

If you do web browsing then there is a pretty good chance you are
swapping and that is causing the freezing.

How much ram do you have?

Does it recover from the freezing?

If you have a 2nd device, ssh into the first device and run "top" and
leave it running, if the device starts paging top will clearly show
the paging, if the device actually kernel crashes then it will be of
less use.

No log errors suggests kernel / OS freeze, which to me says that it
isn't an application problem, but something that affects integrity of
the system.  Power fluctuations?  Memory issues?

Are you running nvidia graphics with nouveau?  Because nvidia doesn't
publish the api of their graphics cards, the open source driver is
reverse engineered, and can have subtle instabilities that lead to
occasional freezes like this.  I used to see them when I ran nvidia
graphics and nouveau.  They usually resulted from a null pointer being
used by the kernel.
