/g/, my computer crashes if I don't leave Minecraft running. I'm not joking. If any of you are into CUDA then for the love of god help me out, but even if you're not I hope I can bait one of you poor bastards into being as intrigued by this problem as I am.

Let me explain.

I have a 970 GPU running archlinux. (I've tried other distros but not Windows) Ever since I got my GPU, my computer has randomly frozen. No kernel panic, no dmesg, no errors, no display artifacting, just completely freezes. Video stays the same, caps lock doesn't enable, networking instantly stops.

EXCEPT when I have a video game running. Through testing of various games I have no shit found that Minecraft will give me the lowest chance of my computer crashing (though it still happens sometimes). So every day I launch Minecraft in a separate workspace, spin around so all the chunks load, and then leave it in the background all day. If I could have this happen automatically somehow then that would be fine, but I can't.

I'm on a mission to find some way to recreate whatever load Minecraft is creating on my GPU in some CLI application I can load as a systemd service. I am familiar with C++ but not at all familiar with CUDA, but here's what I've tried:

>Cryptocurrency mining
Works when I run at 100%, but my computer becomes unusable. I edited the source of some miner to run at about the same load as Minecraft, but that causes it to crash

>VRAMdisk
Doesn't work at all. I load up a 2GB video memory ramdisk and put random garbage in it, still crashes.

>CUDA float stressing
I found an application called gpu_burn that stresses with floats using CUDA, and I edited the source of that to run about 2x of the load and memory that Minecraft uses, but it still crashes.

>Video Card firmware
flashed multiple versions multiple times. Still crashes

>Video driver versions
More than I can count.

So what the FUCK is Minecraft doing to the GPU that everything else I've tested doesn't? I have spent way more time investigating this issue than all of the time I have spent launching Minecraft, but I've fallen deep inside this hole and plus I'm convinced that if I can somehow automate this load, I can tweak it to b
ring crashes from once or twice a day to far less. (Without Minecraft my PC will crash 20+ times a day)

Some additional info: I am running a 2560x1440 monitor at 144hz via displayport. I'm using nvidia-smi to check load

>RMA your GPU!
In my country, that would take weeks. I plan on getting a 1080ti when it is available in my country and then I can RMA it no problem, but for now I am stuck with this GPU. Can't use integrated graphics either because my motherboard doesn't support displayport and it's the only connector my monitor has.

Because by solving those problems they become more proficient at trouble shooting and more tech-savvy which translates over to to other operating systems.

Anybody else here likes programming but is apparently shit at it?

I've been working for 6 months now (c++) and the work environment is so shit it's tearing my soul apart. Some people have their heads so far up their assess it's really hard to talk to them without being looked down upon.

Here's a situation I've found myself in a couple of times by now:

>no documentation available in the project
>get assigned a bug to fix
>it involves code I didn't write
>sit on it for days and try to decypher the bullshit around it
>turns out there's something wrong in the part of someone else's code
>work around it and send the fix to code review
>it gets accepted without any notes
>days later
>guy who accepted my code mentions to someone else that the part I wrote is badly coded
>mentions a solution that would only be known to someone who wrote that fucking code in the first place (him btw)
>tells me multiple times that I don't fix problems the right way

Who's in the wrong here? How do I get better? Can you grow a thicker skin for that kind of bullshit? How do I get back at that cocksucker?

I want to make a tiny display from a spare phone screen which connects to my PC over HDMI. Would it be possible to somehow solder an HDMI port to its flat cable? If not, then how would you convert a phone screen into a PC display?

>>59419830
Probably just you need to read up on protocols the screen is using.

I converted my spare tablet into an external monitor, it can be done probably just about any Android device by now through software.

I ended up using a program called Twomon USB, this mirrors through USB and wifi, nearly real-time response and it's genuinely useful as a separate display in this configuration.

There are alternative programs out there for compatibility issues that I went through before settling on Twomon but they were all free to try, most free to use completely.

I know about this method, but for what I want to use it it's not ideal. I want to make a home made VR headset that would directly connect to my PC and act as a 2nd display.

It's possible to stream VR games to a phone with an app called Trinus VR, but you can only play shitty old games otherwise the GPU can't handle it.

Any recommendations for an app I can get (android) that lets my phone control a powerpoint presentation, WITHOUT having to install something on the PC/projector?

Important for travelling to different clients who have PCs I can't exactly install shit on...

just let your phone identify itself as a network printer and the computer will install whatever driver you supply automatically without your clients knowing it
