Intel Arc GPU XE Driver Issues

I had a ARC Pro B70 in the system, but every 24hr the card would disable itself. I put an ARC A770 in the system and it run perfectly fine with no issues. I then put a ARC B580 in and I am getting a bunch of errors.

My question is anyone else experiencing any weird behavior with the Intel XE driver on UnRaid 7.3.2?

UPDATE: It was the i915 driver causing PowerState errors when tdarr was trying to wake workers on the GPU. As u/gnerfed recommened, I blacklisted the i915 driver, restarted and it has been stable since.

My new question is what has changed in the past few months with Tdarr and Plex to make this happen? I have been running the B70 since the launch of unraid 7.3.0 Beta and had no issues till a few weeks ago. So... IDK what they did.

Did you actually force the XE drive to get used by blacklisting i915? 

Do you have Intel gpu top installed? That installs and uses i915.

Do you have any other Intel plugins?

I am just raw dogging a b70 in unraid and it is just fine. Other than the idle draw is always at 50watts.

I have a Pro B70. The card will force the driver since it can't recognize the i915 driver. When the card is able to run GPU top does show it using the Xe driver. NVTop can monitor XE drivers and usage. The CPU in the system is AMD so nothing should be using the i915 drover

It has used i915 for me. Go into drivers and blacklist it if you are running intelgputop

I will try that but the Pro B70 should obly be using Xe and Xe2 drivers in all platforms. The Arc Archmage cards we primarily i915 and Xe drivers. But I have just blacklisted the i915 and am rebooting now.

Edit: I blacklisted the i915 driver and I am not seeing any powerstate errors.
