Screen freeze

[tame delta]

My screen freezes really often, but last time when I moved my mouse it actually made sounds like when I would move my mouse in the game
It happens randomly, idk why
Os is garuda mokka linux = arch

And sometimes this happens too

What you describe is a GPU / display stack freeze, not a full system freeze.

[thin cipher]

GPU?

[tame delta]

RTX 3060 (tripple fan if it matters)

[thin cipher]

Try switching TTY when it freezes. If that works -> GPU/compositor issue confirmed.

What is the output of

pacman -Qs nvidia
uname -r

?

[tame delta]

i‘ll try it later thx 🙏

[tame delta]

uname -r:
6.18.2-zen2-1-zen

[tame delta]

I had problems with this already; I accidentally uninstalled my drivers, nice people here helped me so this should normaly be fine

[tame delta]

Ok freeze now
Strg alt F2 doesn’t do anything

[thin cipher]

No, ctrl+alt+F2?

[thin cipher]

Make sure you have linux-headers and re-run sudo mkinitcpio -P and reboot.

[tame delta]

Oh year strg is ctrl on my keyboard

Forgot to say that

[thin cipher]

That fine.
Did you install linux-headers and run sudo mkinitcpio -P?

[tame delta]

I’m doing it later I’m going to eat now it’s christmas evening for me😀

[tame delta]

pacman -S linux-headers
sudo mkinitcpio -P
Right?

[thin cipher]

Okay, Garuda Linux does not use mkinitcpio by default anymore.
Run sudo dracut -f and reboot

[tame delta]

Okay now I‘ve been using my pc for about 2 hours straight and it froze again

TTY doesn‘t open

[thin cipher]

That is all the output?

[thin cipher]

Yeah, it’s an OS issue. It doesn’t like something about your hardware.

[tame delta]

Yes

[tame delta]

My ram that is litterally split in half? But I got it like that from amazon, new

Do you think I should switch to another linux?

[thin cipher]

Maybe, if you don’t have a lot of data on there, you can try something like Linux Mint or another distro to make sure it’s not the OS.

[tame delta]

Ive got about 200gigs of space used here

[thin cipher]

If you have another drive, you can back it up there.

[tame delta]

yes i've got two

maybe I'll do it but I like kde plasma so I need to find a good mint but thanks for helping

[tame delta]

do you thing endeavour os is better for me, it's arch but maybe it will work

[thin cipher]

It should work fine, to my knowledge.

[tame delta]
