Details
Description: The system suddenly crashes, even if I'm not
doing anything at all. I had music in background and it
continued to play, I tried to change to virtual console with
ctrl+alt+f3 or shut down the xrog server with
ctrl+alt+backspace, but nothing happened, the screen stayed
frozen with what I was doing on screen and music playing in
background, I had to force a physical shutdown. This usually
happened after hours from boot, it doesn't seem to be a
particular application to be causing the problem. It
happened with both gnome and kde. This started to happening
only from the last update of both kernel and nvidia
driver.
Additional info: * linux-5.10.5.arch1-1 * nvidia-460.32.03 Steps to reproduce: I didn't find out what pattern is exactly causing the problem, it just happens after few hours |
This task depends upon

I can only suggest if you can not a thread on the nvidia linux sub forum you start a new one see [2] for what to include.

lsusb describes my video card as "Intel Corporation HD Graphics P530 (rev 06)". I am using the typical i915 kernel module.
Very likely unrelated, but worth mentioning: sound was not being switched to my speakers when a cable was removed from my headphone jack. I had to manually switch it back to my speakers after unplugging them. After downgrading, this functionality started to work again.
The kernel I used before these issues started to happen was 5.9.14.arch1-1. I'm going to downgrade to that and see if the problems so away. This will help isolate if it's an issue with the kernel or something else.
kernel NULL pointer dereference is a class of error not a specific issue. As you stated your system is not using the nvidia modules it can not be the same issue.
