Description

I have hard resets, similar to hitting the Reset-Button. Which means I get no log or trace of any kind and I am totally clueless where/how to search.

I replaced a Geforce 770 with a MSI RX 570 in the hope of better support for a multi-monitor setup. Turns aut the Card will expose the above issue when gaming (so far played only X-Com2).

xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu is version 18.1.0, kernel is 4.19.0-1-amd64 (had same issue with 4.18)

  • The PSU is a Seasonic Platinum 400 Fanless, more than enough to drive the card and the max ~100W Cpu. I replaced a Geforce 770, which should have a higher peak without issues.

  • Xcom2 crashes after ~5 to 30minutes. I can play longer if I limit the card to 80 W. echo 80000000 > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/hwmon/hwmon2/power1_cap

  • The system does not cause any troubles with Windows 10, even if both CPU and GPU are tortured.

  • I did sample the temperature berofe the crash, it was below 70degrees GPU and below 60 on GPU. (far from any BIOS triggers)
