7 years ago Hello @SomethingWentWrongDDK, no opengl application should be capable of causing these symptoms and it hints that your issue is in the video driver stack.
When the system locks up, are you able to ssh into the system and check if there is a kernel panic? If ssh does not work, there are a couple other methods to see if the kernel is leaving a dying message. Something like http://askubuntu.com/questions/765315/how-to-find-previous-boot-log-after-ubuntu-16-04-restarts may be needed or configuring netconsole to send a log to another system.
Your system information
Since I don't believe the Gist has my video card: Radeon HD 7850 1gb
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Every time I play a game of CSGO, within 5 minutes, my monitors both 'lose signal', turn black, and whatever sound was playing repeats infinitely until I hold the power button because the entire system is unresponsive. I have tried: -Updating everything -Open source video driver -AMDPRO driver
EDIT: It also does this even when I am not in game. When I am just sitting in lobbies/main menu of CSGO it does the same thing.
Other information: On the very same computer I can play for hours and hours with 0 problems using Win7. I hope that rules out a hardware problem.
I installed dota 2 because in a thread somewhere on google someone said 'csgo and dota' are related in the (engine?) they use. No problems after an hour of testing. Several other 2d/3d games have no problems after 30-60 minutes either.
How to replicate the problem: Start CSGO Load game Wait 1-5 minutes "Rush B guys, (screens lose signal) guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys"
Please help
