I'm experiencing a frustrating issue with CachyOS Linux where my screen goes black when the system is under heavy load. This happens while using the operating system, but everything runs smoothly in Windows since I have a dual boot setup. After the black screen appears, I can only get back into Windows by resetting my BIOS; a simple restart doesn't resolve the problem. Here are my system specs:
- Operating System: CachyOS Linux
- KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.3
- Kernel Version: 6.17.8-2-cachyos (64-bit)
- Processor: Intel Core i5-10400F
- RAM: 16GB
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
I'd appreciate any help or insights.

Make sure that your NVIDIA graphics card is functioning properly. Run `nvidia-smi` to verify it's working. It might also help to disable the integrated GPU in your BIOS settings. If you get stuck on the black screen, try switching to a different TTY using Ctrl+Alt+F{1-6}. If you haven't already, installing the latest NVIDIA drivers could potentially fix the issue.
Have you checked if Fast Boot is disabled in Windows? It can cause issues with drivers. Also, turning off Secure Boot can help, especially with NVIDIA cards.
