--- Comment #7 from Lennart Sauerbeck fdobugs@lennart.sauerbeck.org --- Created attachment 137006 --> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=137006&action=edit Errors while playing CS:GO, crash and reboot after opening VLC
Another crash pretty much right after the one from my previous comment. After rebooting the system to continue playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive the errors kept coming, though the system did not freeze (note the timestamps in the error log).
After shutting down the game, I started VLC to watch a stream and the system froze immediately. After a short while (<5 minutes) I used Magic SysReq keys to reboot the system safely, which can also be seen in the log.
A possibly important detail: My system doesn't freeze entirely, only the graphics output does. Sound still works for a time, even voice chatting continues to work. However, all X output freezes (e.g. conky on desktop).
I haven't tried going to a virtual console, so do not know whether that still works.
I also had the same issue while playing Euro Truck Simulator 2, but it never happened while playing Dota 2. Given this, it seems like some illegal instruction is passed to the graphics driver. Would an ApiTrace help? If so, I can try to record one.
