Public bug reported:
Ever since I updated from 18.04 to 18.10, I'm no longer able to play a
game like Heroes of Newerth. As soon as the game start after the picking
phase, my system completely shuts off/reboots. Testing with a game like
Warsow gives me the same result.
In about 50% of the crashes it is just turning the system off completely. In
the other 50% it reboots the system and it's the BIOS telling me about a
probable power issue and anti-surge protection was triggered.
I disabled the systems anti-surge protection in the BIOS as a test. No change
again, the system just turns off.
The PSU should be fine though, as all was running smooth in Ubuntu 18.04.
All was fine on 18.04 with the default open source drivers in
combination with my AMD RX480 card.
Lowering every graphic setting (resolution, anti-aliasing, etc.) in the
game to a minimum does not help in any way.
Due to it being a complete crash, I don't quite know where to report what since
I have no error nor log messages to go on.
Nothing of any use (recent or related to the crash) is available in /var/crash.
As an additional test I tried a Wayland session instead of the Xorg
session I normally use. The result is the same, a hard crash of the
system.
