Dear all, |
2 |
Back story, I'm in Perth Australia, hence summer has just finished. |
3 |
Summer here means long runs of about 40ºC during the day and nights of |
4 |
about 35ºC at midnight. |
5 |
|
6 |
12 months ago, I started getting a dialogue popup that said: |
7 |

KWin Window Manager |
11 |
Desktop effects were restarted due to a graphics reset |

This would pop up, particularly when doing "deep research" with Firefox |
16 |
on Youtube. Firefox would freeze for a few seconds, but the audio would |
17 |
continue, the screen would do a refresh/flash sort of thing and on goes |
18 |
the "research". As the day would progress, and the home office would |
19 |
heat up, 35ºC during the day, these popups would pop up more and more |
20 |
and the machine would nearly become unusable. |
21 |
|
22 |
It was also accompanied by the following in dmesg: |

This started last summer and then as things cooled down, occurred less |
49 |
and eventually disappeared, winter time. This summer it's back and even |
50 |
worse so I upgraded from an nVidia 1060 to a 3050 - the thinking being |
51 |
the card was over heating. As you guessed the problem is still here. |
52 |
|
53 |
I've found the xid errors page on nVidia's site but was wondering if |
54 |
anyone else had come across this error and has any advice? |
55 |
|
56 |
Thanks in advance for any thoughts, |
