Issues & Assistance

This seems like a continuation of the initial post which at first seems to have resolved the issue Kernel Panic Blue Screen - #31 by nepti

I got a new kernel panic blue screen with this link

I thought i did post the whole output. Just edited my post, what seems to be missing?

4

found this
I will try to undervolt it a bit to a 0.050 and will check the stability.

@nepti Do you think there is going to be an issue if I try this out? After investigating a bit i noticed that my mobos VRM seems to be overheating and that is why i get this blue screen.

Is there a way to monitor the VRM and check if it is being overheated?

There is a bunch of reports for the gpu 7000 series. It is happening while you was gaming?
Did you try lact for it ? This Log shows more to the gpu. others with the games reportet lts would work with the 6.12 kernel .

6

This kernel panic happened during a gaming session indeed, that is why it shows more to the gpu i believe. But the gpu is quite new as well, but the gpu has only been used for gaming.

7

Like i said it can be a Bug in General.

You can try the linux-lts Kernel or the mainline Kernel too. ( change it at the Advanced Boot Menu and test it . Later you can set it with the Garuda-Boot-Option)

older stable

sudo pacman -S linux-lts linux-lts-headers

newest Kernel

sudo pacman -S linux-mainline linux-mainline-headers

Your Power Profile is on Performance maybe set it to Balanced (middle) just my experiences not to let the Cpu run on all Cores at Maximum your Cpu is quite good to handle games better if its not on all core full power.

Did you monitored the Gpu with LACT application if it gets hot?

sudo pacman -S lact

sudo systemctl enable --now lactd
