Stability issues

[ceazer]

Hey everyone! I’m hoping someone out there can help me troubleshoot a super annoying issue I’m having with my gaming setup. I’ve got a GL502VSK laptop with a GTX 1070 8GB and an i7-7700HQ, running Garuda Linux. The problem hits when I’m trying to game through Bottles—my system just crashes. I’ve tried both X11 and Wayland sessions, and Wayland makes things even worse.

After a forced reboot when the system crashed, I checked the journal and found this mess:

It looks like there are some NVIDIA module issues and a bunch of PCIe Bus Errors. Does anyone have any clue what might be going on here or how I can fix this? Any advice would be a lifesaver! #LinuxGaming #GarudaLinux nvidia #SystemCrash #HelpNeeded

Welcome to the forum!

It’s great that you shared this log, but can please also provide the garuda-inxi to we have more details about your system setup?

Did this start suddenly or has it been like this since you first installed Garuda?

Did you use this laptop before or did you just get it?

I used this laptop for over 2 years i didnt face this problem before
The problem was since moving to garuda from widows i updated the bios and turned of both secure boot and fast boot.
this is the system info :

Is this after boot ?

I’m trying to game through Bottles—my system just crashes

Did you use the arch version or Flatpack? IIRC some issues gone with the Flatpak but isnt not normally recommended to use flatpaks.

Did you can try a other Kernel for your GTX 1070 like LTS ?

May you need a other Nvidia driver please wait for nvidia user

Did you try other Launchers for your Game? (Heroic or Lutris)

may @Jeshu had a good tip for you

other info

Asus linux drivers

When you installed Garuda did you use the propitiatory drivers or open source? i ask this because nowadays using the provided nvidia drivers on installation often times has the installation fail.

If so maybe try the open source code for nvidia below and see if this fixes the issue. You may have to uninstall conflicting packages as listed executing the code.

Use the command;

sudo pacman -R ‘conflicting package name’

However after executing the code below successfully you may well have to reinstall them.

sudo pacman -S ‘name of the package you uninstalled before’

#open source code DKMS modules

sudo pacman -Sy nvidia-open-dkms egl-wayland lib32-nvidia-utils lib32-opencl-nvidia nvidia-settings opencl-nvidia nvidia-utils

If this does not work you may have to try and install the nvidia-all drivers, for in the past they have rescued me a lot. The nvidia-all drivers are provided by Git, and give you the option between proprietary and open source code, from highest available drivers version, to the lowest available driver version for your system, so you can try different driver versions and see if a version installs without errors and use that one.

#first the three lines 
git clone https://github.com/Frogging-Family/nvidia-all.git
cd nvidia-all
makepkg -si

#and then when the above driver installation finished successfully

sudo dracut-rebuild

Finally, if the above options did not fully fix the system you may have to see if Garuda’s remote fix will do that for you.

sudo garuda-update remote fix 

Best of luck
