Here’s some more info from my post on the Arch forums
Monitor is rated for 180hz refresh rate. But anything above 60hz will cause the computer to crash immediately.
I’ve tried a lot of things including reinstalling the OS twice (one was completely different distro (cachyos).
…
Let me know if you want more info or anything. But i’m stumped.
Thanks,
Porkins

Seems like a driver issue.
When you reporte issues please report all relevant information, like here what is your monitor setup and GPU ?
Search for “Failed to disable gfxoff” gave me:

Apologies,
Thanks for the reply,
Video card is an amd rx 6600
Monitor is: Xiaomi Monitor G34WQi,
I’ll try and dig into those topics you mentioned as well as looking into what gpu drivers I’m using. I didn’t change anything out of the box for drivers when I setup the pc and everything worked perfectly for a few months till this issue.
The latest update have been catastrophic.
To start the OS I had to switch from Wayland to X11, but now it doesn’t recognizes the 2nd monitor.
Operating System: KDE neon 6.2
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.10.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2
Kernel Version: 6.11.0-17-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz
Memory: 7.5 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: Intel® UHD Graphics 620
Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
Product Name: Inspiron 7373
did an update today and now all I get is a black screen and it never loads sddm.
sudo pacman -Syu
Tried to manually disable gfxoff and it still wouldn’t boot to sddm
sddm exits with a 127 error code
Ok Fixed the black screen with cursor by setting breeze as the default theme in /etc/sddm.conf
[General]
DisplayServer=x11
[Theme]
Current=breeze
CursorTheme=breeze_cursors
My sddm.conf was blank for some reason. Not sure maybe this is just an override of some other config. Glad I can at least use x11
There is an important crash in X11, that is fixed in 6.3.1 and might get backported to 6.3.0 by distros.
I have the exact same issue.
Is your monitor Acer Nitro VG240Y M3?
The solution I use:
No it’s a Xiaomi Monitor G34WQi
Unfortunately, I don’t have a CPU with a built in GPU on the motherboard. To test that out. Part of me wishes I did for situations like this.
But thanks for the tips Suraj_Verma. I appreciate it!
