Ubuntu

huge battery drain suspended

Asked by Delaine Rosa

I have a MSI GE62 with a GTX970M. I'm currently running 64-bit 14,04 ubuntu with the 3.19 kernel and the latest nvidia drivers, but I've reproduced this error in the last two versions of Ubuntu and every nvidia driver release and kernel release since December.

What seems to be happening is that during standby (suspend to RAM), the GPU is not powering down properly. The computer gets very warm over the GPU (warmer than during operation, as the fan has turned off), and the battery drains completely in about 3 hours. The battery is fine, and will operate for the normal 4-ish hours when the computer is powered up as normal.

I have seen other people report similar issues. An example: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/213962/huge-battery-drain-during-suspend-to-ram-12-hour-nvidia-card-doesnt-turn-o
