nvidia freeze / suspend issue GEForce 9100 [solved]

Post by Nakka »

When my computer wakes up from suspend, it freezes (I can move the mouse but nothing responds). I've tried the nouveau drivers and NVIDIA 331 drivers. The Nvidia drivers not only freeze on suspend, they also just randomly freeze at other spots.

On other threads they ask for this command: sudo lspci -vnn | grep -A12 VGA
Result:

Thank you for your help in advance. It's bad luck to not let a computer sleep!

Bump -

This issue happens with hibernate as well. When the computer comes up, it looks like a frozen screenshot (with a moving mouse), complete with the "Suspend Hibernate Restart Cancel Shutdown" box. Is there a process to troubleshoot this / another post with ideas?

It may not be graphics card related - coincidence, correlation, and causation between it and my system not taking Nvidia drivers are all possibilities. Perhaps I should cross-post into a different forum?

FYI, the last two lines of my pm-suspend.log
Running hook /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/000kernel-change thaw hibernate:
/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/000kernel-change thaw hibernate: success.

Mark this one as solved.

The (older) NVidia 304.117 drivers work flawlessly for me, while the newer NVidia 331 and the nouveau drivers were both buggy.
