Hi *,
for a long time I got messages like
i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] *ERROR* CPU pipe A FIFO underrun i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] *ERROR* Atomic update failure on pipe B (start=315366 end=315367) time 312 us, min 1431, max 1439, scanline start 1417, end 1444
from time to time, but this didn't seem to have any further impact on the system.
But starting this week about three times a day the machine freezes completely with no apparent reason besides more of the above mentioned messages. No other error messages are shown in the journal or any other logs. This does not happen with Windows 10 running on the same machine, but from an external thunderbolt ssd instead of the internal M.2 ssd.
The problem could be the external disk freezing.
no, Windows 10 runs from the external disk. When Linux is running, the external disk isn't plugged in.
Ah, ok.
Still I think you should verify the "disk". If it fails suddenly there would be no logs about the problem. If the machine responds a bit, maybe console 10 might have some information.
Yes, that was my first idea, too. But neither fscks for the filesystems nor a DELL HW check didn't find anything 8-< And no, no console shows any information - they are all pitch black 8-( At the moment, I suspect RAM to be the culprit. I added the memtest parameter to the kernel boot options and sometimes, but not every time on boot I get error messages for certain memory blocks. Despite that, all HW checks including DELL's own one refuse to show any errors 8-/ Thx! bye. Michael.
