Random Freezes

30 September 2021, 13:51:41

I started randomly getting total system freezes. I can't find anything related in logs, but I get this message every minute in

Code: [Select]

/var/log/everything

Code: [Select]

<timestamp> localhost kernel: [drm] PCIE gen 2 link speeds already enabled
<timestamp> localhost kernel: amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: PCIE GART of 1024M enabled (table at 0x000000F400000000).
<timestamp> localhost kernel: [drm] UVD initialized successfully.

It might be related to graphics card, I have an Intel graphics card and AMD graphics card, but AMD card isn't configured,

Code: [Select]

xrandr --listproviders

lists only the Intel card.

How can I disable those things from happening every minute and what might be the cause of the freeze?

Hi!

What happens when you blacklist amdgpu, run mkinitcpio -P and reboot your computer?

1.
/etc/modprobe.d/amdgpu.conf

Code: [Select]

blacklist amdgpu

Code: [Select]

# mkinitcpio -P

Code: [Select]

# reboot

EDIT:
BTW, do you have linux-firmware installed?

Code: [Select]

pacman -Qi linux-firmware

Thanks, I don't see those messages in log anymore. I'm not sure about the freezes because they come randomly and I can't figure out what triggers them.
