From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

NVIDIA Releases Linux Driver 580.105 With HDMI and Game Crash Fixes (linuxiac.com)

Among the notable improvements, the driver introduces a new environment variable, CUDA_DISABLE_PERF_BOOST, allowing users to disable CUDA’s default behavior of automatically boosting GPU clock speeds to higher power states during compute workloads.

Unnecessary rant: I actually just had to downgrade my 575(?) driver after spending a few days trying to troubleshoot a freezing laptop. One day I walked away when it happen and that actually gave me the logs I needed to find the Nvidia driver was freezing the machine and then spitting logs out after giving up 10 minutes later (but still keeping things frozen). Was driving me nuts, thinking my hard drive was seeing the light, even though all tests for it were passing with flying colors!

I'm hesitant to try this new version since I didn't see anything in the changelog about freeze fixes lol.

When it comes to Nvidia driver for Linux, my suggestion is - always stick to the version you find stable enough.

In my case, Last Nvidia 580 driver version works smoothly on my Desktop. Earlier I was on 550.

On a side note, faulty RAM often cause system freeze/crash. You might want to run memtest from boot menu as well.

I have a similar issue, my laptop will sometimes refuse to wake up from suspend when opening the lid. And forcing it awake with ttyd just makes it wig out, I can't even reboot it at which point, it just hangs while rebooting.

Hate my Nvidia laptop, everything worked fine 3 years ago and now nothing works.

same was happening to me. games blacking out, or pc completely freezing during the loading screen. so right now, I am on 550.163.01. guess my graphics card is just outdated by nvidia standards.
