Garuda Linux freezes random

Hey there, I've installed Garuda Linux into my PC. It freezes very often and when this event occurs I've to keep my PC power button pressed and boot Garuda again.I've the same issue as this Arch user [SOLVED] System freeze periodically - hard reset needed / Kernel & Hardware / Arch Linux Forums. Any help would be appreciated...thanks in advance!

Maybe it is out of date from 2016?

First thing to try would be different kernals in my opinion.
The more you try the better.
Of course, if the issue occurs only after a recent update, you could consider restoring the latest working snapshot. But I guess this is a new installation.

Wait for inxi :slight_smile:

If I render with all threads of my CPU, my PC freezes too, so nobody knows the specs and what he used.

I'm also trying to check for something stange into journalctl I haven't found anything special.

Most likely not the root cause of this problem, but it seems a bit out dated.

I've also tried to use lts kernel but it freezes as well...

pls I need urgently help.I need to use my PC !

I think it would be important, to have the devs and experienced users to help you, to provide more information.
At least (not limited to):

  • in which conditions the freeze occur (under heavy workload, normal use, any specific application)
  • what you have already tried (apart the lts kernel): other kernels, do you have any snapshots to try and restore? Did you already try a restore?

From my side, I can only (re-)suggest to:

  • restore a working snapshot (even if this is a very new installation there should be at least one)
  • try as many kernels as possible (I understand this might be difficult if freezes are frequent): at least also linux and linux-mainline

I've already restored to my first snapshot but nothing changed.Could it be a firmware issue?

I have a new idea.
I just found this one on the Arch forum, it seems somwhat similar to your case.
If I understand correctly, it is not a matter of X session or config, just a matter of downgrading the Nvidia graphic drivers to 460xx.
There is a link with further details, but I also hope someone with Nvidia drivers can give you a hint (I’ve never had Nvidia stuff), if necessary.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1979762
Edit: I see the link in the link suggests to downgrade also the kernel to 5.11.13 or lts 5.10.30, but that could be a problem, since they are really outdated now. Maybe you could try at first to downgrade only the drivers…

Do troubleshooting to find the problem. There is no magic advice.

  • Check journal fatal errors (-p3) and crash dumps.
  • Check running tasks CPU usage and stop possible guilty services.

A similar issue of mine was solved stopping anannicy service. Find yours.

Sadly, this situation is exactly as @petsam states. We cannot work through your issue for you. There have been many topics on this issue posted on the Garuda forum. The rather lengthy ones where the user tested many different fixes usually had a happy resolution.

That could entail testing many different things or combinations of things. We cannot do that for you. The information on the best things to try is posted on many similar threads on the forum.

I personally would suggest testing far more than only one different kernel. A different kernel in combination with a different I/O scheduler is also a good alternative to test.

This is a sometimes complex nut to crack, but the only one capable of solving it is you (as we do not run the same rig as you).

Good luck.

Hi I have the same situation
I upgraded system on 2021-09-23
After few minutes it freezes.
No periferies are attached
My laptop it MSI 7RG Apache Pro 32GB RAM 256GB SSD Drive
Garuda user around a year

Boot from older kernel - no freeze, but some graphic artifacts in alacritty

Tom

Hi there, welcome (to the forum, not to Garuda, I see :wink:).
Please open a new thread, since this one is basically dead (I know that the OP gave up) and we cannot be sure that the issue is the same (there are much newer kernel and drivers versions now).
Remember to include your specs copying the output of inxi -Faz as text, with 3 ~ before and after the text block, for proper formatting.
