Frozen PC (except sound)

This problem has been apparent since Linux 5.9, but is not present on previous kernels including 5.4 LTS. It is reproducible.

The freeze occurs when running Kodi and a browser (Firefox, Chromium or Pale Moon) after a variable amount of time, up to about 30 minutes. Any sound (music or video player application or from youtube on a browser) continues to play, but no response from any keyboard input or mouse presses. The only way out is to press the reset button.

Details seem to report an nvidia error (but same driver fine under earlier kernels), but I'm no expert at deciphering core dumps. Any advice appreciated

Re: Frozen PC (except sound)

Known issue since 455 series of nvidia drivers, no fix yet, doesn't occur with 440.100: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/b … nce/155506

Pretty hard to reliably reproduce apparently.

Are you sure about not happening on earlier kernels? I know I had it under 5.8 as well, but it's quite random as to when it does and can happen.

Re: Frozen PC (except sound)

Thanks for the quick response.

I first experienced the problem after upgrading to Linux 5.9 and it has been there constantly since. I then added the LTS (5.4) kernel to my system and now normally boot to that to ensure stability.

Never had this issue with the LTS version and that is running Nvidia 455 drivers too. Obviously can't say 100%, but the freeze has never happened to me using LTS since 5.9 came out.

I can reproduce relatively easily on the latest kernels using Kodi+browser, so happy to help to diagnose!
