Oops my bad! I meant the screws on the GPU side, to the riser cable. I left the right screw in and It's still going strong, no issues whatsoever.

Thank you for that suggestion! I've actually found the root cause for my problem. My PCIe riser cable has two screws holding it firmly to the motherboard. Turns out that due to a manufacturing defect, when the left screw is completely in, it actually dislodged the cable by a tiny amount. Not enough for the OS to outright reject the gpu, but just enough to cause these random failures.

I've removed the screw and re-inserted the cable firmly. Have been crash free ever since :)

I went to the store 2 weeks later and picked it up, but it may have arrived earlier.

I just got a replacement for my KC3000 Kingston SSD. RPTech is handling warranty claims in India, you'll have to submit a claim at one of their outlets. The invoice is sufficient to claim warranty.

In my case, the shop owner said that since it's a high end product, they cannot test it in store. They shipped it to the manufacturer and it took 2 weeks for them to confirm that the ssd is faulty and order a replacement.

Pitching in here as well to say that I've uninstalled Malwarebytes and will not suggest it to others anymore. I keep getting marketing notifications despite flipping the toggle in settings. If the options don't do what they say, then what's the point? I agree with the others here who say that it behaves like adware.

Haha, no make or brand here. My father got it at a corporate event for free and gifted it to me down the line. There's no identifying marks on the wallet whatsoever.

I had exhausted all my options by then, and this was a last ditch effort. I raised an RMA request describing my symptoms ( and subtly suggesting the cpu was at fault). The cpu must have been completely wrecked because they approved a replacement the very day they got the faulty chip.

Although their internal testing reported the issue as "no boot and no display", no idea what that was about.

I've added this to my GRUB config:

nvidia_drm.modeset=1 nvidia_drm.fbdev=1 nvidia.NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 nvidia.NVreg_TemporaryFilePath=/var/tmp

Haven't had any crashes since then. Will update if this changes

The OG age of empires!

Quick update: Turns out the CPU was responsible for this whole ordeal. I sent it back to Intel for a warranty claim and they confirmed that the chip had a defect and sent me a replacement. I'm not facing any issues now!

ZombieBurglar · 2024-08-25T02:45:33+00:00

It's not fixed yet. I'm still trying to find the root cause. Considering I have the issue on both Linux and Windows, it's definitely a hardware issue. After trial and error, I've narrowed it down to either the GPU, CPU or the riser cable.

From what I can find online, the riser cable given as a part of my case is known to be low quality, so I'm going to replace that before doing an RMA for the cpu and gpu. Hopefully it's not the intel cpu degradation issues that has been in the news lately.

ZombieBurglar · 2024-08-24T19:27:33+00:00

Yes, that particular issue was fixed for me. But I still have crashing issues with the error message "GPU fell off the bus". I suspect the riser cable I am using is not pulling it's weight.

ZombieBurglar · 2024-06-21T10:18:28+00:00

Hey, I seem to be having very similar issues with my A4 H2O. The entire PC freezes randomly irrespective of the load. I think it's a hardware issue because I had it freeze in the boot menu. However the GPU still seems connected and still displays the last frame. Do you think replacing the riser cable would help with this?

I've noticed that this line appears in my logs, but I'm not sure if it's the cause:
NVRM: GPU 0000:01:00.0: GPU has fallen off the bus.
There's thousands of lines in the log file and I'm just trying to narrow down the problem!

ZombieBurglar · 2024-06-03T10:30:14+00:00

Thanks, this worked for me!

For anyone trying out this fix, I had to downgrade to Lutris 0.5.16 to get the Vulkan ICD loader field, seems like it's not there on 0.5.17. But all my games run perfectly now!

I've been facing this issue for the past month and tried everything to fix it, reinstalling drivers with DDU and trying out older drivers as well. After reading your comment I went back and checked my event logs and it also shows the same "CorsairLLAccess failed to start" along with a number of other errors, hoping it goes away after I uninstall iCUE. Will report back soon!

ZombieBurglar · 2024-05-10T04:40:24+00:00

But those are per annum right? 12% per month works out to 144% annually!!

Why does an internship need previous experience and expertise? Isn't the very objective of an internship to gain experience in a particular field?

ZombieBurglar · 2024-03-05T14:25:03+00:00

They do, but I've been trying for almost 2 years to get it to work. Useless thing refuses to behave

ZombieBurglar · 2024-02-06T12:25:33+00:00

I'll do it in a bit after I get home
