• [gentoo-user] Graphics problem, especially when running Firefox - kde e

    From Andrew Lowe@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 13 18:00:01 2022
    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:

    ********

    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

    I've not seen this exact issue but had a few similar problems on my
    previous machine. 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

    Greetings from East Vic Park!

    1. Have you cleaned out the system? Start of summer i have to vacuum the dust bunnies to prevent overheating.
    2. Check the power supply
    3. Add a few more fans :)
