I use GNU/Linux Mint 18.1 64-bit on an Intel i5 3570K machine with a discrete nVIDIA-based graphics card.

Recently there was a power outage in my neighborhood. After it, I couldn't boot my machine and had to replace my PSU. Now my machine boots and works. H-o-w-e-v-e-r, I've been getting strange error messages in my log, regarding my GPU and regarding a supposed disconnection and re-connection of some USB devices (which were not disconnected):

and whenever I try to put some significant load on the system (e.g. building source project from sources) - everything tends to freeze up or lag terribly, including the UI usually. This did not use to happen.

On the other hand, I've also recently apt-get upgraded myself with a new version of the Linux kernel (whatever the distribution provides, not custom-built).

My questions are:

  • Is what I'm seeing necessarily a hardware issue?
  • If so, what could be the problem?
  • If not, what parts of the OS or user apps could be responsible?

This might be an outdated question, but, in case someone had a similar issue, I would recommend checking the Xid error messages from Nvidia website, in this link

For example, you can see that errors number 13 and 31 are related to a user application. This could be software you use that mishandle the usage or access of the memory.
