  • Intel Integrated HD Graphics Sandy Ivy i915 GPU CPU Freeze Linux Debian Steam Games

    Hello everyone and sorry for my bad English
    I don't know where to post this problem
    I've been using Linux for a little more than a decade but I never had a big issue and/or made a bug report
    I thought to post it here because I know there are people in this forum that maybe can help
    And people searching for the same problem, maybe could find here a solution

    PROBLEM:
    Recently I started to play a few videogames on Linux using the Linux Steam Client
    Games: Left 4 Dead 2, No More Room in Hell
    When I have an hour or more playing, the system freezes completly, I can't do nothing, I have to use the Reset Button
    I found in /var/log/syslog an error about i915 hangcheck blah blah blah...
    kernel: [29255.991790] [drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* stuck on render ring
    kernel: [29255.991795] [drm] capturing error event; look for more information in /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state
    kernel: [29255.995602] [drm:i915_set_reset_status] *ERROR* render ring hung inside bo (0x5935000 ctx 1) at 0x59351d8

    SOLUTION:
    The first thing I thought was... ?maybe is a temperature issue?
    In the BIOS/UEFI, I manually changed the RPM CPU FAN to always MAXIMUM (2000 RPM)
    I opened the computer case and place a big FAN (110v) near the computer case
    Now I can kill zombies all day

    SUGGESTIONS???
    Is there a problem with the video driver?
    the video driver doesn't know how to deal with the temperature?
    the linux kernel doesn't know how to increase the CPU FAN RPM? I guess I'm going to use lm-sensor to see this
    or the CPU/GPU temperature is a BIOS/UEFI problem?
    or I'm living in hell and I need a better cooling system
    any other suggestion?

    I cleaned the fan and heatsink, and put new thermal paste
    I installed lmsensors and fancontrol, now I can control the RPM
    I place a big FAN (110v) near the computer case when I'm playing
    that's the only way.
    I guess the GPU gets too hot and I need a better fancooler
    good luck

      You should upgrade to kernel 3.13 and mesa 10+.

        I'm not sure about that, they are still experimental (debian repository)

          Oh, btw, the issue was solved when my debian (testing) upgraded to kernel 3.13 and mesa 10.x
          Anyway, shortly after, I installed a i3 and a Nvidia (334.21)
          The games are working fine. Thanks to all developers involved. Good Job
