While I'm working on the computer, the monitor sometimes suddenly goes black and it starts outputting lines like below in ~7 seconds intervals.

[  127.759539] NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:01:00): 16, Head 00000001 Count 00002a11
[  135.955830] NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:01:00): 16, Head 00000001 Count 00002a12
[  144.148118] NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:01:00): 16, Head 00000001 Count 00002a13

enter image description here

It goes on forever and I can't really get back to the system unless I reboot the computer.

Once I reboot it everything works fine for a couple of days, but eventually it shows up again.

Does anybody have an idea to what it is and how I can solve this?

Using Debian 9

    Is your NVIDIA graphics card overheating? What are you doing when this happens?

  • @Kusalananda It usually happens within 20-30 minutes of turning my computer on, so I don't suspect overheating. I also run Windows from this computer (for playing games) and I've never had any issues from Windows

    Accorting to XID Errors Table, Xid (PCI:0000:01:00): 16 means Display engine hung. IMHO, this seems a driver problem. Which driver are you using? NVIDIA proprietary or open source one? Latest version? What does it happen if you change driver source?

    Binary NVIDIA driver is quick, but it is a crap. If you don't need 3D gaming, use nouveau (opensource nvidia drivers).
