[SOLVED] nVidia crash ?

hectorDUQUE · 07-21-2010, 12:39 AM

i guys,
i have installed FC12 into a quosmio laptop, 4 GB of memory, intel i3, and a nvdia video card. Every thing goes fine but when playing videos, after 2 hours the laptop crash: the sound video goes into an infinite loop, and the allowed action is to power of the computer.

Code:

lspci|grep nVidia
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0cb1 (rev a2)
01:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation Device 0be4 (rev a1)

modprobe nvidia
WARNING: Deprecated config file /etc/modprobe.conf, all config files belong into /etc/modprobe.d/.

May you give some directions in order to track thi problem ?

thanks in advance,

hector

sounds like a hot cpu and gpu are you using what driver and what is your gpu

I concur, overheating of the CPU most likely.

What is the model of the laptop, when was it first bought, and when was it last cleaned/blowed with compressed air (not with too much force!!!, gentler, weaker air pressure!!)

hi,
it is TOSHIBA QUOSMIO harman/kardon,
intel core i3,
4 GB RAM

and suposse to be a new one, 3 weeks old, so no cleaning processes :-(

It says that nVidia drivers could be the problem. If I remember correctly, there was overheating problem with noveau nVidia driver, and solution was proprietary driver. If you use proprietary driver, pleas install it from RPMFusion repositories (kmod-nvidia I think). Someone familiar with Fedora process should step-up and help you, since I am on CentOS.

i have installed kmod-nvidia from RMPFusion and my laptop es running fine, non stop, since saturday night :-)
