 LS,

 Recently I bought a Radeon RX 6600 XT card from Gigabyte. But I noticed quite
quickly that my system has issues. 95% of the time I try to wake the system -
only the screen is switched off after sometime, no system suspend - the system
input and display freezes.
 I noticed that the drive LED is still working, so assume that the rest of the
system is still working.

 Thinking that the PSU might not up-to it's task with this new card, I
upgraded
that too. It seemed to go better, but still have these freezes from time to
time.
 Below is a snippet from the log file around the time the system freezes. The
GPU seems to have issues, from which the software does not seem to recover:


Frans:

I mean they are a hardware problem, like the PCIe specs, because Your
motherboard is PCI-Express 2.0, and the video card is PCI-Express 4.0.

I have a motherboard Asrock 980DE3/U3S3 (PCI-Express 2.0) with a
FX-8320E CPU and a Radeon RX-580 GPU without issues in Tumbleweed.

              Juan
Oh, I thought it was an PCIe-3.0 version of the bus, but your right: finally checked the manual ;)

For many years I tried to avoid to upgrade the CPU with ditto MB since the system is still running good and is fast enough for what I am doing - Office, Video/Audio processing, Development. To keep the system running, I now need to switch to the system console whenever I pause using the system. This is because that console does not get switched off during the display sleep. This means a constant power usage for no practical use. This is currently my only workaround that seems to work.

After my switch to an 4K monitor, I had to retire my NVIDIA GF9600 GTX card. But due to the lack/availability of modern passive cooled AMD graphics cards, I needed this card with it's semi-active/passive cooling. I don´t play games on the computer - maybe when I am getting senile I might ;)

So, I for now stick to switching to the system console from time to time and hope there is a fix for it in the future.
