[[6.9.x - 6.11.x] intel i915 module causing system hangs with no report in syslog (not alder lake)]

I've been following this thread for some time (and have made my own thread a year ago when 6.9.0 came out), just wanted to add a data point.  I run an i7-8700 and use the iGPU for transcoding (other system details and diagnostics are in the linked thread for anyone wanting to look).  Rock solid on 6.8.3.  Upgrading to 6.9.x caused crashes every day or two, nothing in remote syslog, just like the OP of this thread.

 

I will look into BIOS settings when I get a chance.  Truth be told, I didn't try the last recommendation in my own thread to disable C States as I had already reverted back to 6.8.3.

Just wanted to update my post.  Shortly after I commented above, I upgraded my bios to the latest version, upgraded the firmware on my SSD cache drive to the latest version (which is also used for appdata and all plex metadata), removed all remnants of the 6.8.x way of enabling iGPU passthrough for intel cpus, and upgraded to to 6.10.2.

It's been rock solid ever since.
