Hi All,
I've been getting random crashes of X on my development workstation with
messages like:
on console: cpu #X stuck in [X:...]
.xsession-errors contain things like: gnome-session: Fatal IO error 11
(Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.
/var/log/messages has NVRM: GPU at :01:00.0 has fallen off the bus.
Most things I've been able to find suggest a driver vs. kernel problem
so I updated to the latest driver from NVidia (346.35) with no luck.
Have others seen this? Any hints? Could it be the NVidia card failing?
Thanks,
Joe
Hi,
I have seen this once before with a persons system. The issue in that
case was a bad physical connection. Removing the card, cleaning the
connections and reseating the card corrected the issue.

This took a while because I had to finish a project and couldn't afford random
reboots, but I took Phil's advice and used the professional connector cleaner
AKA pencil eraser on the connectors, reseated the card. I have now gone 4 days
without an incident whereas I was forced to reboot 3 or 4 times per day.
Thanks Phil!
Joe
Just a note about pink erasers - don't. They contain a lot of sulfur. That
corrodes contacts rather rapidly. So the fix may be lamentably temporary and a
re-fix may be impossible after the second or third time.

I've had good success with it for edge-connected circuit boards, but that was a while ago. Contacts were bigger back then, and the gold tended to be thicker, so there was less chance of scrubbing your way right through it.

Removing the card, cleaning the connections and reseating the card corrected the issue. Another place I have seen it is where the connector is bad. Sometimes it is the motherboard and sometimes it is the video board. Works fine until the system got warm and then it quit working. In the case of the video board it was a simple replace and get working. In the case of the motherboard, it was only found because the cards worked fine in other systems but not this one.

Re: NVidia drops off bus
Thank you all! I will try cleaning the connectors and reseating. It's about time for its routine cleaning.
