This comes down, perhaps, to having both nouveau and nididia drivers
on the same system.
I use synaptic, which wants to remove far too many packages if I remove nouveau
so I didn't insist.

It looks like a hardware problem to me, even if you say it takes two days to
freeze. Can you tell us more about your system. Is it laptop or is it
stationary workstation?
The machine is a Dell 6-Core Precision WorkStation T7500, Intel Xeon E5645, with
Bios dated 2013. The internal temperatures are: cpu: 39.0 C mobo: 26.0 C. The
RAM total is 47.04 GiByte. I use Xfce 4.16.0.
Was it working just fine before you upgraded to 'bullseye' (ver 5.10 kernel)?
Ran perfectly for 2 years with opensuse 42.3, a Quadro 4000 card and the nvidia
384.69 driver. Rock solid. Quadro 4000 temperature typically 85C.
Have you tried to run some benchmarks to force the issue? By doing that you
could reveal some potential problem with inadequate cooling or problems of...
Here is a short summary of my notes following my attempts to find a working
setup on this workstation
Driver: nouveau
---------------
Card Quadro 4000, GF100GL. Freezes after 11 minutes with monitors lit.
Firmware issue: failed to load nvc0_fuc084. After freeze, journalctl shows
fifo: INTR 0100 0000: 0...05 many repetitions
fifo: INTR 0080 0000 once
Card NVS 310. Freezes after 6 minutes with monitors lit. Card temperature 46C.
Card Quadro P400, GP107GL. Left monitor spontaneously rotates after 30 min.
Other random reconfigurations. Firmware issue: gp107/nvdec/scrubber and
acr/DL.bin not loaded. Message: Failed to create kernel channel -22. Card
temperature 45C.
Nvidia drivers
--------------
Card Quadro 4000, GF100GL. 390.144. Freezes with blank monitors after 15
minutes. Card temperature 85C.
Card NVS 310. 390.144. Freezes with monitors lit after 15 mins - 3 hours.
Card Quadro P400, GP107GL. 460.91. Card temperature 46C. Freezes with blank
monitors before 30 mins.
Current situation
-----------------
I wondered if a common feature of all the freezing was the automatic screen
saver failing, so I installed xscreensaver and configured it to start saving my
screen after 10 mins inactivity with the Quadro P400 card + 490.91 driver.
This has so far held up for 22 hours. If it holds up for a week, I will report
it as a candidate workaround. If it doesn't, I will still be looking for a
solution.
