The solution turned out to be replacing the nVidia with a Radeon, and my computer became rock stable. There's a reason Linus gave the middle finger to nVidia: https://www.wired.com/2012/06/torvalds-nvidia-linux/ >If I leave it alone, it won't freeze, but this causes an existential >dilemma. I bet if you leave it alone long enough, it will freeze. That's what happened with my DDD.
