(SOLVED) resume from suspend not working with 980 Ti, drivers 352 - 370, kernels 3.16 - 4.4

I have a system built on Asus z170m-plus with an EVGA 980 ti hybrid.
The system boots without any (to me visible) problems.
It was built with the purpose of GPU computing, and does not show any problems under load.
It crashes maybe 50% of the times when resuming from suspend.
When crashing on resume, the screen turns on but stays black.
ssh into the machine often, but not always, work, and shows an Xorg process at 100% cpu.

I have run both Linux Mint 17.3 and Fedora on it with kernels from 3.x up to 4.4 and cycled through Nvidia drivers 350.xx to 370 and still see this problem.
I can’t try nouveau as the card is not supported there yet.

If I don’t let the machine suspend, I have not seen this problem.

Will follow up with bug logs after next crash.

The log is for the system just after boot.
nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (228 KB)

I was not able to get more than a few seconds ssh before the system became unresponsive.

Crash log from 352 driver.
I have not been able to get one with the 361 driver as the system is just not responsive enough after a crash.
nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (115 KB)

I’m not allowing the system to suspend anymore and have no problems.
I would like to be able to use suspend as the system is now pulling 50 Watts in idle around the clock.

Still a problem with kernel 4.4.0-36-generic and nvidia 370.23.

I get the same/a similar problem on my Arch Linux since swapping from a GeForce GTX 750 to a GeForce GTX 970 (same driver/kernel/os as before). Sometimes the system does not wakeup from suspend (the monitor gets waked up but stays black and the system gets completely unresponsive)

System specs:

OS: Arch Linux
Kernel: 4.7.2-1-ARCH
NVIDIA driver: 370.23-4
NVIDIA card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM204 [GeForce GTX 970] (rev a1)
Monitor: Hitachi/HINT W240D (connected via DVI)

Because the system gets unresponsive after resuming from suspend, I could not get a log from nvidia-bug-report.log.gz after the problem occured.
Here are a few lines from journalctl shortly before the problem occurs (you find the whole log from today in the attachment as well as a nvidia-bug-report.log.gz after rebooting the system):

Latest test with kernel 4.4 and driver 370.28
Display is black in resume from suspend. System is so responsive that it allows for a remote login with ssh so I can get to diagnostics.

Xorg is hanging with 100% cpu.

lsmod shows that nouveau is NOT loaded.

I got a bugreport from nvidia-bug-report.sh
nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (56.9 KB)

I have the same issue as mlaggner on my desktop. At some point it seemed like some driver versions fixed the issue, but it came back in the more recent ones (also upgraded from a 560ti → 970). Next time it happens I can try to SSH in, too.

I tried hibernation to get more information for troubleshooting.

Trying to hibernate just crashes, and I can’t even get a log of it happening.

Have you tried removing all other expansion cards to determine if a card conflict is at play?

Back when I was using an Asus GTX750-DCSL-2GD5, a StarTech PEX2IDE and a StarTech PCI300WN2X2 with an Asus SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 (UEFI 2501 at the time), resume from suspend worked fine.

But when I upgraded to an Asus STRIX-GTX960-DC2OC-4GD5 it no longer functioned–that is until I temporarily removed the superfluous StarTech cards, found that resume from suspend worked fine with the '960 after all and then reintroduced the other cards one-at-a-time until I identified the PCI300WN2X2 as the culprit. Swapping out that PCI card for the PCIe-based StarTech PEX300WN2X2 resolved the wake from suspend issue.

Then about a couple of months ago Asus released UEFI 2901 for the Sabertooth (the first UEFI update that 'board has had in over two years). So I applied it and then re-tested the PCI300WN2X2 with the STRIX-GTX960-DC2OC-4GD5 only to discover that wake from suspend now functions correctly with that combo.

The take-away:

Expansion card conflicts and UEFI updates can have an influence on wake from suspend functionality.

Thank you for your input. I appreciate all advice.

I have tried every BIOS update that has been released for the card and has not seen any effect on the symptoms from this.

I did now remove all expansion cards as suggested.

The system sometimes resumes, sometimes not on a test to immediately resume after a successful standby.
I’m not sure about the ratio of success to resume but it seems like around 25%.

Is there anything more that can be disabled, maybe in BIOS to simplify the situation?

What really bothers me about this is that I paid for one of Nvidias premium products and during almost a year when I’ve been asking for help here, there has not been even been a hello from Nvidias representatives or any advice about what to do to further diagnose the problem. There’s just complete silence from Nvidia.

Just sad.

  1. Is the UEFI / BIOS on your PC’s motherboard up-to-date?

“Version 2002, 2016/09/29”

BTW. Before flashing a motherboard’s UEFI / BIOS, first read the relevant section in the 'board’s users manual then boot into the UEFI / BIOS and load ‘Setup Defaults’ (or however it’s worded) and then reboot before shutting the PC down.

  1. Check out the link in my signature and scroll down to ‘Clearing the CMOS’.

  2. If the above approaches fail to remedy the resume from suspend issue, then if possible try the GTX 980 Ti in the Z170M-PLUS’ lower 16 lane PCIe slot (after once again clearing the CMOS).

  3. What’s the make and model # of your PC’s power supply?

Yes. I am running BIOS version 2002, which is the latest listed for this Z170M-PLUS motherboard.

On your suggestion, I did follow the manuals instructions for manually resetting the CMOS by shortening the pins for this and was later greeted by a setup BIOS wizard as the CMOS had been successfully cleared.

No. I’ve tried mounting the card in the lower PCIex16 slot but the card physically conflicts with several of the connectors that are mounted on that edge of the motherboard, which is sad as I wanted this flexibility in my system when I planned it. Apparently EVGA, Nvidia or Asus did not fully agree on specs and usability of the standards here.

The system is powered by a Corsair RM650i PSU.

i have an ASUS ROG G751 laptop, for the last few months the nvidia driver crashes on resume. I run Arch Linux and update weekly. i can normally get about 5-7 successful resumes before a crash. it doesn’t matter whether i’m on battery or A/C. it doesn’t matter if i’m on a text console or in X. my BIOS is current.

wifi will break but if i have an ethernet cable plugged in and am fast, i can get a dmesg before the machine hangs. the tail of it is similar to previously posted logs for the GPU idle errors.

Right then. If none of the remedial suggestions I’ve made have yielded a consistently functioning resume from suspend then we are now officially grasping at straws (unless someone else has a further insight into this issue).

According to the following article your RM650i was made by CWT, a respected OEM so there should be no problem with its quality.

I’m assuming that you researched the Wattage of the power supply you would require to satisfy your current PC’s configuration plus a little extra to accommodate any reasonable expansion? If not:

EVGA - Power Meter
[url]http://www.evga.com/power-meter/[/url]

From the product page for Version 352.55 (the oldest nVidia driver that supports the GTX 980 Ti)

[i]"Known Issues with this release:

  • Resuming from suspend may not be reliable on GeForce GTX 9xx boards in some configurations."[/i]

Drivers | GeForce
[url]http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/92826[/url]

It seems you have one such configuration and that to save on idle power consumption you’ll have to shut your machine down or if possible schedule it to do so after a user defined period of inactivity.

BTW. Installing mate-themes via the Synaptic Package Manager will yield an attractive charcoal theme called BlackMATE and installing grml-rescueboot will allow you to loop-mount Linux Mint .iso images so that installing a fresh OS can occur at HDD or SSD speeds.

Grub2/ISOBoot - Community Ubuntu Documentation

One more point to consider:

Though it employs an nVidia GPU, your EVGA 980 ti hybrid is still an EVGA product sporting EVGA’s custom PCB, VRM and firmware / BIOS all of which differ from a card specifically manufactured by nVidia or any of the other nVidia-based graphics card manufacturers. Perhaps starting a help thread on the EVGA Forums may draw in some further user insight into resolving the resume from suspend issue:

EVGA GeForce 900/TITAN X Series - EVGA Forums

To save from going over covered ground you could quote, copy and paste selected portions of this thread to more quickly bring EVGA forum members up-to-speed re which steps have already been taken.

FWIW

I suspect that how a *motherboard’s UEFI / BIOS’ ‘Power’ and ‘DDR power down mode’ and ‘S3 Video Repost’ sections (or however they’re worded) are adjusted may influence the effectiveness of the following info:

Many thanks for all the hints and tips. This turned a bit complicated to thoroughly go through all the options so I’ll turn this into a weekend project.
It’s my production system so I don’t want to leave it in a non-working state.

I’ve also got another hardware platform made available and will install the card there just to see if the behavior is similar.

A production machine? Do you have a backup graphics card in case ESD or another unforeseen disaster strikes? Murphy’s law being what it is.
