GPU (driver?) issue on AMD integrated graphics and GNOME: freezes and severe glitches
by lol- from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6ET5F)
Hi!
I have been experiencing GPU issues on my laptop lately (severe graphical glitches and full GPU resets).
Laptop: Thinkpad E15 gen 4, R5 5625U + Vega 7 integrated graphics. Running latest amdgpu driver. EndeavourOS.
The first time I experienced these issues I noticed severe graphical glitches every time something moved on the screen, flickering, polygon rendering just broke. I have a video but unfortunately it seems like I can't insert attachments yet. logs
Second time was yesterday: this time, no glitches, just a complete freeze with flickering every 5 seconds. I have logs indicating a page fault and then the GPU constantly resetting but failing: crash occurring and GPU failing to reset
Both crashes happened when I was running graphical intensive operations (Minecraft for the first and a browser game for the second)
Considering the nature of the crash (page fault) I immediately tested my hardware using UEFI utilities. All tests passed without any problem detected. Thus, I believe (and strongly hope) this is a driver issue or bug. For some reason during this second crash, I couldn't even access TTY but my music kept playing in the background.
Thank you in advance!
[EDIT] - the second crash is reproducible with a 100% success rate by loading this page. Works for a few seconds then freezes.
