Screen errors/artifacts after standby

General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware
1

I experience screen errors after waking up from standby. There are ton of artifacts visible. if i change the background image, the artifacts are gone but only on the background image area. The problem does not occur after booting, only after standby. The problem started weeks ago. I thought, maybe the next driver update fixes that, but didn’t. Any advice would be appreciated.

Welcome to the community @Zwerg01 :smiley: :enos_flag:

Perhaps share the output of:

sudo inxi -SMGsmxx --za

Have you tried booting with the LTS kernel instead, and confirmed whether it also happens there?

Let’s have a look at what drivers you have installed too:

yay -Q | grep nvidia
