[mythtv-users] NVRM: GPU has fallen off the bus

Thu May 11 08:30:37 UTC 2017

Hello!

My system has recently frozen about 15 minutes after boot and I see the
messages below in syslog at that time. I need to do a full power reboot,
and then it usually works without problem. The temperatures reported by
sensors at that time seems reasonable to me (< 40 degree C).

Google results suggest different solutions, but nothing unambiguous that
seems to work for everyone. It could be a hardware or a software issue.

The system is a combined 0.28 BE/FE with Debian Jessie with a first (?)
generation Intel Core i5-661 CPU with integrated Intel HD Graphics (not
used) and a PCIe NVIDIA GT215 GeForce GT 240 GPU. I have not done changes
or upgrades recently except security upgrades.

Since my system horsepower-wise is more than enough I hope I could keep
all hardware and just replace the GPU if that is the problem. I could
either buy a new PCIe GPU or use the integrated GPU if the is enough for
good quality HDTV recordings.

I would appreciate any help to either identify/solve the problem or to
recommend a good replacement GPU. Back when I bought the PCIe GPU it was
quite new with VDPAU support in MythTV and it was important to choose the
correct GPU. Today, maybe it has become easier?

Please let me know if I forgot any important information.
