Strange freeze happening randomly on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

gg flag

I have a freeze problem that I couldn't find any clue as to why it happens:

I am using Ubuntu 22.04.1 and kernel version 5.15.0-56-generic.

I have NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 and 525.60.13 that came with "sudo apt install cuda", which installed cuda 12.

When the freeze happens if a terminal is open I can type and I can move my mouse around. I can "ls" but i cannot get any output from "top", and after that I cannot CTRL-C to cancel.

When it freezes I can ssh into it but the above applies the same.

At first I thought it was the application I was working on that caused this. However I left it on for a while and it froze by itself when the application was idling. I checked the memory usage logs and when it froze it was using nominal amount of memory and a little less than average CPU.

I checked syslog and kernlog but nothing interesting on it, except a mysterious "^@^@^@^@" pattern at the end after the freeze.

    A lot of "ERROR Transfer event TRB DMA ptr not part of current TD ep_index 2 comp_code 13" logs inside syslog and kern.log

    No interesting logs from my application anywhere

Both my SSD and HDD have plenty of empty space

My swap size is 2GB and swappiness at 60

Besides, this same freeze also occurred without my application running.

I was suspicious of the GPU drivers but I switched to nouveou driver and it still kept happening.

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
