Sudden monitor issues regarding refresh rate

Issues & Assistance Unsupported hardware | Dual boot
1

Hello! My linux was working perfectly fine and displaying at 165Hz while setting it up until i plugged my windows drive back in. Now it refuses to post at anything over 120Hz (main monitor goes black and goes to sleep after a couple seconds despite still being detected in display settings). Could the issue be related to the newly added drive and how can i fix it? It’s making my monitor look extremely choppy due to lack of GSync or Freesync.

Just reboot

  • After rebooting, post the FULL output of garuda-inxi in the body of the post (not linked externally, or collapsed with the “hide details” feature)

Do not reboot from M$ to Garuda, shutdown M$. Boot Garuda :crossed_fingers:

I rebooted through console and by restarting but it only seems to have made the issue worse as now my 2nd monitor doesn’t post at all. Issue with primary monitor still persists though…

Not exactly sure what you meant by shutting down M$, could you elaborate on that? I’m really new and still clueless haha.

Here’s the new garuda-inxi post reboot:

DO NOT perform reboot on windows and than choosing Garuda.
Shut down your PC completely, press the power button and boot Garuda.

i dont think windows should be playing into this issue as its on a separate drive and has been set below garuda in my BIOS boot order so i assume it shouldn’t be booted at all.
please correct me if i’m wrong though.

Problem with dual booting and specifically dual booting with Windows is that Windows likes to cause issues. Doesn’t matter if its on separate drive or is the last in order to boot.

When you DUAL boot the proper way how to boot cross vendor OS is by completely shut down the system.

Had to fix an issue with windows not popping up in grub thinking it was causing the issue but after fixing my grub issue, fully shutting down garuda and opening my pc back up, booting directly into windows (through the windows bootloader by going through my BIOS, not through GRUB as i didnt know the grub fix worked) , shutting it down and then opening my pc again and booting into garuda (this time through GRUB), the problem still seems to persist.

I don’t know if i’m meant to boot windows through GRUB then shut it down and then boot garuda through grub but i think the way i did it should yield the same results hopefully…

Here’s another inxi if needed. Hope it worked this time as i hadnt booted windows for a whole 2 days before the previous upload so i dont really think much should have changed??

Did you try Wayland?
Did you try other kernel like LTS?
Check your kernel parameter about nvidia-drm.modeset=1

sudo nvidia-settings

BTW, I have no problems with my NVIDIA GA106 [GeForce RTX 3060] on KDE, i3wm and Hyprland, but only with one 60 hz monitor :frowning:

No, i haven’t tried either but i’d prefer to stick with KDE Plasma if switching to either could cause data loss.

Just checked using sudo cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset which i found here NVIDIA - ArchWiki and it is enabled, yes.

The weird part about my issue is it worked perfectly fine until i plugged my windows SSD back in so it could be something with windows?
Quickboot is disabled but i didnt have any option to disable secureboot in my BIOS so it’s set to default settings instead. It’s so weird, as soon as i started celebrating that i managed to install it properly it stopped working lol.

First…!!! pls make bios update !!!

Of course, you can disabled secure-boot, on each motherboard for desktops.
Go to the Asus support page (also youtube videos) and read the faq about enable/disable secure-boot.

Wayland is still plasma its the back-end “display manager” like x11. You wont have data loss, when plasma shows the login screen in the bottom left. There should be a box that says plasma (x11) click it an change it to wayland if no luck just change it back to x11 at the login screen.

I swapped to Wayland but all it did was make my monitor fully unresponsive, I’ll try using LTS and Wayland but i’m not sure it’ll change anything…

I’m 99% sure this is an issue with Linux and possibly the drivers instead of a hardware issue as 165hz works perfectly fine on windows, secondary monitor remains unresponsive despite the OS so i’m assuming its a hardware issue.

13

Wayland seems to be a no go on LTS too… I don’t really understand why it doesnt work.
I also noticed a warning about AMD overdrive being enabled on my AMD GPU despite not having one. Could the issue be that linux thinks my Nvidia GPU is an AMD GPU?

14

it has a integrated one btw =)

15

oops! i forgot the X have GPUs. Could it be using the AMD integrated GPU to render the desktop which could be causing the issues???

16

im not sure because im not an nvidia user so i dont have to deal with it.Anyway you are on the TUF Series and im on the ROG STRIX so different hardware too.
i can setup my CPU?GPU to 16GB RAM usage and have 64 installed it works fine for me.Also i read in the manual if you connect 2 nvme1s it drops down the gpu power because sharing lanes on motherboard or deactivate 2 last sata ports if used 2 nvmes . so wait for more experianced nvidia or hz rated user.

17

hm that’s weird… I’m using two NVME M.2 SSDs but i dont think it reduces the GPU power as my games run the same on windows (and better on linux). 165Hz works perfectly fine on windows too, just not on linux. Could be a conflict with both the windows drivers and the linux drivers but everything should be set up properly to not cause conflicts…

18

lol yeah it is… can be too because msoft grabs my wifi and bt if i down it not correctly with shift button pressed but already many answered to it.

it would be a non fixed nvidia driver on linux maybe trying the zen4?or other hardware configaration with open source driver instead of dkms help idk really.

may more qualified ones reply soon.

ps.bios update(zenkernel)
