[solved - faulty hardware]nvidia - serious problems after last update

I'm trying to fix this for 3 days now...

After last nvidia update i rebooted and my screen looked like this:
http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/qogzxehj/img_1702.jpg

So I googled a bit, tried to create a new xorg.conf with nvidia-xconfig, tried several things in xorg.conf but nothing worked. A downgrade to previous version failed. I was fed up with it and restored a backup from the week before and.....got also this messed up screen.
I even get some strange stripes/distortion in BIOS splash screen now or when I boot from a live-cd:
http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/29u0495s/img_1698.jpg

Next day I added a "Mode Section" to xorg.conf and everything seemed to work again - until the screen turned off because of inactivity (no suspend or hibernate), I moved the mouse and everything was f**** up again.

As things are now: I have this strange distortion in my BIOS-bootscreen. When X starts this messed up screen from the screenshot appears. I can switch to a console. If I switch to runlevel 3 and immediately back to runlevel 5 I get an apparently working desktop. But the windows don't redraw, the program windows won't refresh if I move them around. Everything looks strange and so on.
I played around with xorg.conf, loaded some Modules, tried several depths and resolutions, added a modeline, nothing. Reinstalled nvidia in runlevel 3, tried the nv-driver (brought up black screen with some red pixels, system only reacted on magic sysrequest..). Vesa driver works (resolution 800x600)...I also wanted to boot from 2 Knoppix CD's floating around here but they both came up with a black screen, at the other hand a Clonezilla live-cd is working (with 800x600 and 1024x768 and this distorted pixels, see second screenshot from above).
Is it possible that my VGA Bios is corrupted or something? I suppose this because of the distortion in the boot screen...A guy in the german archforum gave me the advice to look if

dmesg | grep -e mtrr -e MTRR

produces any output - it does not.

Here is some additional information:

There were no errors/warnings from pacman when updating the driver....

So I am really out of ideas maybe you guys have one?

Thanks in advance!

Re: [solved - faulty hardware]nvidia - serious problems after last update

Delete xorg.conf and boot your sistem without it. See if it solves something (edit: it won't... humm)

Try to reflash your nvidia bios (but i don't believe that it is corrupted)

It looks a serious corruption. Probably your card overheated hum? Looks like a faulty video RAM is giving you such artifacts... no solution to that

Re: [solved - faulty hardware]nvidia - serious problems after last update

Then X starts with 800x600 and everything is ok (no artifacts).
I'm posting right now with vesa driver and this resolution, I only see this artifacts in bios boot splash...

Yeah, this notebook is known for heat problems, especially the graphics card. I am monitoring the temperature of the GPU in Gnome constantly. Is it possible that a software update can cause such a hardware damage? I get temperatures between 80-90°C when playing games with this machine, no problem this far. There was nothing special when i updated, no other open programs or something, GPU temperature between 60-70°C as usual...It worked for years now with this values, it should be a big coincidence if the card dies because of heat problems in the second I updated?

Re: [solved - faulty hardware]nvidia - serious problems after last update

It's really strange... Latest version works okat least in geforce 9700, 9600 and 9200. Maybe you should try nvidia-173xx drivers. But I still think it a memory problem ( 800x600 uses less memory than your native resolution).

Re: [solved - faulty hardware]nvidia - serious problems after last update

If it works without xorg.conf but with 800x600 you really only need a _minimal_ xorg.conf(and configure your keyb and mouse with HAL: as this will get most support from the xorg guys in the future):

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    SubSection     "Display"
        Modes "1280x800" "800x600"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option    "DontZap" "False"
EndSection

This should work, but i'm not at a linux comp now so it might be slightly wrong. You might need the monitorsection if you have a really old monitor... read man xorg.conf

It does not work.

Is there a way to test the graphics card, like memtest or something similar? I want to be sure that the card is faulty before I buy a new laptop...

Re: [solved - faulty hardware]nvidia - serious problems after last update

Hi

I had a similar problem, switching to the open source driver (xf86-video-nv) fixed it.

and don't forget to change the driver in xorg.conf to "nv"

tried the nv-driver (brought up black screen with some red pixels, system only reacted on magic sysrequest..).

Re: [solved - faulty hardware]nvidia - serious problems after last update

This is just really fast, (try reading /var/log/xorg.0.log after to see what if any complaints X give... that's usually the best way to make an xorg.conf):

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier     "Monitor0"
    HorizSync       28.0 - 33.0
    VertRefresh     43.0 - 72.0
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    SubSection     "Display"
        Modes "1280x800" "800x600"
        Depth 24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option    "DontZap" "False"
EndSection

again, just fast, given in the hope it works

Re: [solved - faulty hardware]nvidia - serious problems after last update

This seems like a hardware problem. Anyway, the setup with minimal xorg.conf works in 99.99% cases. More info:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … _xorg.conf
So if this doesn't work, most likely you graphic card is broken.

Re: [solved - faulty hardware]nvidia - serious problems after last update

Ok, recently the exact same thing happen to me and my 6800.

These were the kernel's last words before everything froze hard. From everything.log,

NVRM: Xid (0002:00): 13, 0001 00000000 0000502d 0000060c 00000083 00000100
NVRM: Xid (0002:00): 13, 0001 00000000 0000502d 000008dc 00000000 00000100
NVRM: Xid (0002:00): 13, 0001 00000000 0000502d 000008dc 00000000 00000040
NVRM: Xid (0002:00): 13, 0003 00000000 00008397 00001b0c 1000f010 0000004

Googling that, I stumbled upon this and I though jackpot!
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=123912
There seems to be a known problem all the way back to the start of 180.51 driver series. But the weird thing is the previous version(180.44) had no problems whatsoever.

Also, my logs never showed this other error they were clamouring about...

[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.
[mi] mieqEnequeue: out-of-order valuator event; dropping.

Adamant that a hardware failure at this point is too coincidental, I attempted first installing nvidia-beta and nvidia-utils-beta from aur as suggested by the post. Then, I tried downgrading the to the previous nvidia. Then, the previous kernel. The same thing keeps happening albeit with weird frequencies. There were times when it could last well over 5 hours, even on wesnoth. However, the thing that usually broke it is firefox loading with the usual 150+ tabs. This puzzled me even more. The graphic card isn't even related to this. Maybe its ram? Went on ram swapping spree again to no avail.

A couple of reboots later, weird graphical distortions appeared right after BIOS. Then it really hit upon me that this had to be a hardware problem! It was only when I fiddled desperately with the bios settings when I noticed that my Northbridge/chipset fan is spinning at 0rpm! Opened up the case and sure enough, its dead. I hacked and replaced it from my old AMD cpu's fan. Funny, my intel CPU fan just died a while back. Replaced it with the chasis fan. Can't be bothered to shop for these.....

Still, I booted up, thinking the bug will still be there since the chipset supposedly has nothing to do with graphics problem. To my surprise, it's totally gone! Elated yet puzzled, I sought out trying to rationalize the whole event. Afterall, it's only through understanding these that one is able to troubleshoot effectively. A quick search on google on the northbridge yields the answer. In fact, the northbridge does have something to do with the graphic card. It acts as an interface for high speed devices. No wonder firefox caused it to crash too!

Lessons learnt
If the frequency of crashes seems too random, consider that it might be a hardware overheat failure. This can easily explain why "the next morning everything works fine".
If weird stuff happens outside of the OS, eg. while rebooting, it's most likely is a hardware failure.

should be a big coincidence if the card dies because of heat problems in the second I updated?

It really isn't such a big coincidence. This depends on the frequency of your updates. Most people update every week or even every few days.

No other suspicious things in Xorg.0.log or somewhere else.
Yeah, the graphics card is dead. Every Live-CD which starts in the native resolution causes this distorted screen. I even installed Windows , when switching to 1280x800 - see screenshot. Only thing that works is a resolution less than 1280x800 but thats not a permanent solution...:rolleyes:
As mentioned above this notebook is known for heat problems, so I think the card finally overheated.
Thanks to everyone who contributed here. Doing some backups now and then goodbye to my notebook.

Re: [solved - faulty hardware]nvidia - serious problems after last update

Afaik, newer hardware includes features to prevent damage from overheating. When temperature monitoring sensors detect changes beyond a threshold, it would automatically shut off. Not sure if that's present in graphics cards, but cpu's or motherboards have this built in. Especially those geared to overclockers.
