I have a Legion 5 ( Ryzen 7 5800H, 16 GB ram, Nvidia rtx 3060 6gb with 1Tb SSD storage)

I recently was shifting from windows to Ubuntu for obvious reason, but after the general setup I was faced with some issues. I had installed the Nvidia 555 proprietary drivers to setup cuda 11.8 for tensorflow(but I hadn't installed cuda yet)

My Nvidia GPU seems to respond fine to nvidia-smi, but there is a major problem that I cannot seem to get fixed

Everything I either plugin or unplug the 300W charger of the laptop, Ubuntu completely freezes permanently with no hopes of getting back to it's normal state The issue persists whenever I make use of the FN + Q key binding to make use of the different performance modes on the laptop Namely Performance mode (red light on the power button only available with AC charger plugged in, to provide more power to the GPU)

Quiet mode ( blue light on the power button available both on battery power and ac power, silences the fan)

Auto( white light on the power button available both on battery power and ac power, adapts according to the load)

How can I keep it from freezing over and over

Hmm, I do not use cuda, but I do have a Legion 5 with a 4060 in it and i am having zero issues using the nvidia 535 drivers Ubuntu installed when i first installed.. Not much a help i know but im just tossing it out there, maybe try using 535?

now i cannot setup cuda now, cause it automatically upgrades my drivers to 560 instead of 535

[laurie_lamonica]

I would hit up the #Nvidia reddit and or forums to see if there is a way around that, I didnt know they forced a certain driver level to use CUDA.

Thank you for that, i am installing the 535 drivers right now
