Bug ID: 89961 Summary: System Shutdown on High Load (Radeon) Product: Drivers Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: >3.13 Hardware: All OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: Video(DRI - non Intel) Assignee: drivers_video-dri@kernel-bugs.osdl.org Reporter: swoorupj@gmail.com Regression: No
Whenever playing any applications that requires high graphics performance especially games like Left For Dead 2, for a certain period of time, my system suddenly shutdowns down. It feels like power has been cut off all of a sudden.
I am not sure as to what the cause of the problem exactly is. But it occurs with radeon module. It does not happen with catalyst, but I can't use catalyst it has problem with rendering.
One thing I notice is that temperature is very high during this stage.
Could it be due to a bug in which the frequency clocks are transitioned in the GPU? Or simply due to overheating? Note that this does not occur with windows driver.
I have a AMD A6-4400M APU with Radeon HD 7520G]
