llvmpipe instead Nvidia GPU sometimes

The problem is that "llvmpipe" replaces the Nvidia GPU not initially, but after a while, as if my driver crashes. At first, my laptop sees and uses the video card, but then at some point, when I use the OpenGL application normally, the application freezes, and the video card disappears from the system. Nvidia X Server Settings mark my video card as unknown
The problem is fixing by rebooting, but I would like to not have such a problem at all

Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855
Please post your complete system journal for such boot, eg.

sudo journalctl -b -1 | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

for the previous ("-1") one.

Re: llvmpipe instead Nvidia GPU sometimes

Apr 22 22:19:32 archEL kernel: DMI: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. GF75 Thin 10UC/MS-17F6, BIOS E17F6IMS.105 03/10/2021

Hybrid system, notebook, no output attached to the nvidia GPU.

Apr 22 22:19:32 archEL kernel: NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX Open Kernel Module for x86_64  570.133.07  Release Build  (archlinux-builder@)  
Apr 22 22:36:53 archEL kernel: NVRM: GPU at PCI:0000:02:00: GPU-2ba257c2-6966-ee11-71e6-986d332ff8d3

Apr 22 22:36:53 archEL kernel: NVRM: GPU 0000:02:00.0: GPU has fallen off the bus.

Does this happen w/ the proprietary nvidia driver, in doubt w/ https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … P_firmware disabled?

Apr 22 22:19:32 archEL kernel: ACPI FADT declares the system doesn't support PCIe ASPM, so disable it

You might however want to try to disable RTD3, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME#NVIDIA (add a udev rule to force the state to be on) - though it seems to drop out while being actively used?
Or was 22:36:53 when you started some new game?

Ceterum censeo and before anything else: 3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

Driver from nvidia-open-dkms. GSP is not disabled. For now disabled

This happen while actively used. So, shouldn't I turn RTD3 off?

Ok, I will do it. Thanks for the tips

Re: llvmpipe instead Nvidia GPU sometimes

You cannot disable GSP w/ the nvidia-open drivers, only w/ the proprietary driver.

If it dropped out *while* it was actively used, no.
If it dropped out *when* it was actively used, yes.

I guess I need to change to the proprietary driver?

Re: llvmpipe instead Nvidia GPU sometimes

The plan was to test the behavior of that anyway - w/ and w/o GSP
