Intel ARC A770 16GB LE Crash

Zoltán — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 14:10:06 GMT

Hi all!

I recently registered on this forum to contribute to the Intel community. This year, I bought an Intel ARC A770 16GB LE graphics card.

The graphics card was causing crashes approximately every 2-3 weeks. I purchased my card in April 2023.

Around September, there were no crashes at all. However, today, with the new Intel ARC driver, I experienced a new crash.

I was doing almost nothing, just started my PC and opened Firefox to watch some YouTube videos. Then, I minimized Firefox and started watching the "Oppenheimer" movie with VLC on my PC.

Suddenly, I had the crash. I uploaded the minidump file and my PC info. I hope that helps.

Hello Zoltán

Thank you for posting on the Intel® ARC™ Graphics Communities and for becoming a member to help others as well.

In regards to this crash you reported, before we do any type of troubleshooting we would like to know if the crashes are consistently reproducible or if it was just a one-time crash and has not happened since, or have you continue to experience this type of crash on your system.

Best Regards,

Hello Hugo!

This happened to me only once. If I experience more crashes with the new driver, I will inform you. Also, thank you for your reply.

Best regards,

Hello Zoltán

In this case, based on the minidump file the module that failed is igdkmdnd64 which is related to the graphics driver, however, the crash could also be caused by the app itself so what we could advise is a reinstallation of the latest driver version 31.0.101.4972 using Display Driver Uninstaller, to get rid of any corrupted file or module and also keep your system with the latest updates.

Please monitor your system and we will keep track of this thread for a few more days to make sure there are no more crashes.

Hello Hugo!

My system is all Intel-based. It always uses the latest drivers from here:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/intel-driver-support-assistant.html

When I install the new Intel ARC driver, I always use the "clean installation" option. (Though I have never used the "Display Driver Uninstaller" program, so I will try it). Unfortunately I had 2 more crashes with the same conditions.
Here is the dump files: 120223-8046-01.dmp, 120423-9765-01.dmp
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13mET4XXtdqB-IwmjfxYUfVKZuUDLRITo?usp=sharing

But I will try using the "Display Driver Uninstaller" program. If I experience another crash, I will inform you.
If you suggest, I can change the memory dump file precision (if that helps you more).

Also, if you have open positions on the Intel ARC team, let me know. Especially in the LLVM area : D

Best regards,
Zoltán Tóth

Hello Zoltán

I wanted to check if you have been able to reinstall the driver using the DDU too we shared in our previous post, if so, let us know if the crashes when using VLC player are still happening.

Answering your other questions, I do not have information related to openings at Intel but you can check the following article and follow the steps for more information:

Hello Zoltán

I wanted to follow up on this issue and also to check if you were able to reinstall the driver using DDU. I also wanted to let you know that there is even a newer driver version 31.0.101.5074so it would be better to test that one instead.

Hello Hugo O.!

The system is now run perfectly without any crash. I will inform you if this changes. Maybe the Intel team can integrate an auto diagnostic tool into the Intel ARC control which can send reports to the programmers if a crash occur. Of course If the user enable this feature.
