Minecraft (or other java DRI apps) cause X lockup

[GuntherDW]

Hi,

I've been having this issue for quite some months now, and it's starting to get quite aggrevating, seeing as the crashes are quite random of nature.

When I'm playing minecraft, it randomly locks the X server, generates artifacts over the screen,
waits a couple seconds, and after a few seconds iust freeze.

I AM able to ssh over into the box and restart X just fine though, but my dmesg gets cluttered every time with these errors (these do vary though)

The problem is that the unigine benchmark, or furrmark in windows and the alike never seem to crash. It's just java/Minecraft.
The next-to-latest version (beta 1.8.1) didn't make X crash however.

I've been searching on google for months, I'm simply said losing hope.
I do have another GPU laying around that i could test it on though, but it's quite old(ish). A 9600GT.

What I've tried : Disabling Powermizer, fiddling with Xorg.conf, Adding a second PSU to my system, Benchmarking/testing with other apps, different kernel version, different driver versions, ...

I'm now going to test nvidia-drivers-260.19.44, see if that works.

System specs :
Mobo : ASUS M4A89TD Pro/USB3
CPU : AMD Phenom II X4 955BE
RAM : 8GB (2x4GB Corsair 16000MHz vengeance)
GPU : ASUS ENGTX470
OS : Gentoo Linux 3.1.1

Well, it also happens with 260.19.44 (had to do some hackery to get it to install in 3.1.1 though)

i also took a picture to show what it looks like when X freezes. This time it was particularily nasty

It also had different dmesg messages

But i'm still able to ssh into the machine, to restart X (seems to have completely frozen now, no kill -9'ing that thing)

The shop where I bought the card is allowing me to RMA the card after seeing the photo of the artifacts.

Let's see what ASUS has to tell about the card .
