Hello, guys! It’s my first post here, so if i’m doing any mistake, please let me know!
I’ve been trying Bazzite for the last few months and, after 2-3 updates from a fresh install, when i’m using my PC, randomly and suddenly my machine hibernates on me and won’t go back, forcing me to force shutdown and boot the PC again.
As far as i could tell, it is something related to my GPU (which is an Asus RTX 5070), as the connection with my GPU suddenly stops and generate a loop of errors, like the image below
It seems to me that, for some reason, after a couple of ujust updates the problem starts to happen. On a fresh install, it won’t happen at all, even if i play something for like 5 hours. I might be wrong but, it seems to me the updates are causing this.
What i did to try to fix the problem:
-
I cleaned my hardware, since the logs points the bus connection loss. Didn’t work.
-
I tried to rollback to a previous version. Didn’t work either
-
Tried to see PCI configs on my BIOS, but didn’t work either.

That’s not the complete journalctl, but from that point on, it’s the loop.
I’d appreciate any help guys! Thank you in advance! 
UPDATE: I just made a fresh install and it happened again. Also i’ve learned how to use the troubleshoot tool. So here it is my last boot Pastebin
Also my specs
Btw: The version is a fresh install without updating. I wanted to test my theory of fresh install = ok. Which was wrong =/
Any more info needed, please, let me know!
