How to solve system freezing or crashing due to NVIDIA on Ubuntu 20.04 and 18.04?
Solution 1:
The solution I found for preventing system freezing for DELL G3 3590, with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 (it may apply to other NVIDEA computers), on both Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 is:
Add to .profile:
nvidia-settings -a [gpu:0]/GpuPowerMizerMode=1
Open /etc/default/grub and edit the line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
by adding "acpi_rev_override=1" to the list, so it becomes
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_rev_override=1"
Then run
sudo update-grub
