The system freezes a lot and dmesg gives an error in Nvidia drivers

THPubs · 2014-05-01 06:46:14

I faced constant system freezing in Ubuntu under both Unity and Gnome shell. So I came to Arch. In Arch also im facing the same issue. I tried many things in these forums but nothing helped. Please help me. The system hangs constantly and the mouse barely moves. When I press ctrl+alt+f2 it takes several minutes to go to the terminal and then I can reboot. Please help. Here's the output of dmesg :

archlinux comes as a barebones system - i guess you installed some sort of desktop environment on top of it.
if you installed the same (unity or gnome shell) that will probably not solve your problem.

if you managed to set up an arch system with a gui, you should be able to provide us with more relevant information, so we can start troubleshooting.

off the top of my head (or hat?) i'd say your hardware can't keep up with a full-fledged desktop environment and you should choose something more lightweight. but that's just guessing.

I tried both gnome and unity. My GPU is Nvidia GT640 2GB DDR3, Motherboard Asus p8b75m, Cpu i3-2100. Ram 8 GB. 64GB SSD (Root is on it), 1 TB HDD (Home is on it). I don'tthink my system can't handle a full DE.

Many people have had a problem with system freezes using nvidia drivers:
See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=180298
In that thread the solution seemed to be to disable PowerMizer in the nvidia preferences.

You could also try switching to the nouveau driver, at least temporarily, to see if that works better. See the wiki article for the process.

I disabled the powermizer but still the problem is there
