Garuda Zen Mokka - apparently random System freezes - lots of errors

After some research, the only relevant thing I found is this thread suggesting performance mode may have an impact on this problem.
However I can’t find any documentation regarding hash tables outside of programming software. Nvidia forums have a couple threads regarding driver errors and some users report the same issue, among others, but it just gets mentioned.
From my understanding, since hash table resizing/resetting is possible, performance settings might influence the way the system handles RAM (in this case vRAM) in limiting how much can be used.
I will wait for some feedback and/or other sources before trying to change more settings.

At this moments the only things mentioned that look reasonable to me would be switching kernel and/or changing power manager and tweaking power management modes/settings. But I wouldn’t know where it would be better to start.

IMHO
Do them as follows:

  1. Change Kernels
  2. Tweak power management settings
  3. Change power managers

If you are gonna do these. Should you do these first disregarding @nepti 's advice? I don’t think so because he certainly is a wizard :wink:.

Should you even do these? Idk. I would probably be bald pulling my hairs at this point.

I’ve gone bald reading this thread - yikes!

If your system now works longer without issues and you no longer get a “GPU has fallen of the bus” error message, then the correct reinstallation of the GPU should have fixed this source of error.

This is a bug in the nvidia driver, try switching to an x11 session (you can switch between wayland and x11 at the bottom left of the login screen) and check if everything works there without issues.
