nvidia Unable to change power state from D3cold to D0

user9823 · 2025-06-24 19:23:45

I have 2 GPUs and, I am dual booting. But, I can't use my nvidia graphics card. I already disabled fast booting on Windows.

sudo dmesg | grep -i D3cold outputs:

The GPU doesn't respond at all.
Is this on battery or on AC?
Do you have any related config options in the UEFI settings?

resp. is tehre a firmware update available for the device?

Ceterum censeo:

Is there a parallel windows installation?
=> 3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

user9823 · 2025-06-25 18:05:38

Yes, I have a parallel Windows installation. And I already disabled Fast Start with

powercfg /H off

week ago. Also, I tried rebooting twice and it didn't work.

seth · 2025-06-25 21:12:16

Does the GPU work on windows?

Might be a race condition (to much stuff drawing too much power at the same time), does it help to add "rcutree.gp_init_delay=1" to the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters ?
Or does "nvidia-drm.fbdev=0"? (Though unlikely)

user9823 · 2025-06-25 21:34:06

I tried:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 quiet nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvidia-drm.fbdev=1 rcutree.go_init_delay=1"

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 quiet nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvidia-drm.fbdev=0 rcutree.go_init_delay=1"

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 quiet nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvidia-drm.fbdev=0"

Still "Unable to change power state from D3cold to D0, device inaccessible"

user9823 · 2025-06-25 21:45:38

I also want to say one more thing, I have 2 SSDs in my computer. And I get the same error on the 2nd SSD. I can't remember the GPU, but I remember that I couldn't use the SSD in Ubuntu, my distro before Arch Linux.

Did you only edit etc/default/grub or did you also run grub-mkconfig afterwards?

The bus doesn't get enough power, the question is how systemic the problem is and whether you can do something about it.
Did you add the second nvme yourself?
Does it help to re-scan the bus later, after the system has booted?

Yes, I ran:

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Yes, I added nvme by myself. Second SSD works on Windows without any problem.
When I run:

echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan

I don't see my nvme on lsblk

seth · 2025-06-25 22:03:14

Second SSD works on Windows without any problem.

And what about the GPU?
Also: can you remove the second nvme again and does that revive the GPU?

Also GPU works.

I can try but not today.

You could also try to add "pcie_aspm=off", but
1. added nvme myself
2. nvme and gpu on next lane don't power up
sounds sketchy, so let's see whether the nvme knocks both out.

Previously I tried "pcie_aspm=off" also. if you think the problem is in the nvme. I can take it off. What should I do if that's the problem because I think I installed the nvme correctly.

I also want to ask one more thing, in the dmesg output the nvme error comes later than the nvidia. Could it be affecting nvidia anyway?

seth · 2025-06-25 23:01:47

Yes, if they end up stealing power from each other.
This likely isn't a software thing.

What should I do if that's the problem because I think I installed the nvme correctly.

If it's a power draw spike, structure the access.
You've btw. not addressed the question about the power suorce.

If so: It's plugged in and working on AC.
