Description
I am using ArchLinux and when I've first updated mesa to 12.0 when it first came out, my pc has been crashing while watching videos.
My radeon card is kaveri
I tested both vaapi and vdpau and both are affected with this, also i tried different kernels from 4.4 lts to 4.6 and 4.7, it's not any different. Also I tried both smplayer/mpv and vlc and both are affected.
When I've downgraded to mesa 11.2.2-1 and the problem was no more.
So I though if I waited out to see if it gets fixed, but still even though 12.0.3 came out, the problem is still present.
The problem is not really common, if I was watching videos for the whole day my pc would crash only once.
How crash happens is screen goes blank and I can't hear my fans spinning even tho lights are still on indicating that pc is still powered on and pressing any buttons doesn't work except restarting it.
Version: 12.0
