GPU malfunction or driver error

English Hardware
1

My monitor goes black.

The led indicator of the monitor states that input signal is not available.

Bit since everything is plugged in, and I can hear that the PC is still running, my assumptions were eighter the GPU is dying, the monitor is dying or there is an GPU driver error.

So I logged via ssh, executed dmesg, and here is what I think is the interesting part:

Now I’m a bit confused.

I can see there are some error but I can’t understand if it is the hardware dying or it is a driver error?

Edit:
Kernel: 6.13.0-1-default
OS: Tumbleweed
GPU: AMD RX 570
Driver: open source amdgpu

First install?

Well its one month old installation. But this happend to me even before but with very low frequency (once per 3 months) so I’ve been ignoring it.

But yesterday it was 3 times in 15 minutes so I know it was time to get some logs and investigate.

Today is fine, no issues.

To me is mostly important to know if my hardware is dying after 14+ years, or it is some kernel / driver issue.

Edit:
the logs above are from running system as is. Not from the ISO.

IMHO hardware failure, but which part? Video card? GPU slot? PSU?
Try another video card or another slot.
Possibly cleaning contacts can help.

BTW, you can install up to Core i7-3770K.
