To do this, switch to manual power management like this: > cd /sys/class/drm/card0/device > echo manual >power_dpm_force_performance_level > echo 0 >pp_dpm_mclk > echo 0 >pp_dpm_sclk In my case, the bug does not occur while clocks are set manually. Cave: These settings are ignored/overwritten by the amdgpu driver after each display mode change and each off/on of display output or monitor. So this test has meaning only if manual settings are re-activated after each such display mode change / on-switching. (This bug I reported with <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - Manual setting of pp_dpm_sclk resets after monitor off/on (rx 480)" href="show_bug.cgi?id=107141">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107141</a> ) (b) You could check if you can reproduce the symptom more quickly with a certain load pattern: (1) Enable dynamic power management (which is also the default) (2) Start X11, but not any client (or desktop environment) that draws anything on the screen (3) Replay an (at least 1080p) video with only 3 frames per second, e.g. via: "mpv --no-correct-pts --fps=3 --ao=null some_arbitrary_video.webm" This kind of load causes (at least in the case of my system) frequent changes to the pp_dpm_mclk and pp_dpm_sclk values, and the system crashes after only a short while (seconds up to 15 minutes) under this kind of load, with the symptom (blanked screen, system crash) you described.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
