I have had similar issues with system locking up on rare occasion, definitely noticeable because this system was rock solid stable for years. For me it began to happen when I've updated "nvidia-driver" to version "470.103" from "proposed-updates". There is also XID #8 error¹ in syslog, at the time when a freeze occurs, suggesting it is a Nvidia driver problem. To verify my suspicion, I've downgraded "nvidia-driver" to version "460.91" from "stable" and freezes are gone. I didn't file a bug report about this, in fact I don't know if I should and where to report it, but my system is running for a week now without any problems.Am Samstag, 21.

Harris: Hi Russell, I do not have those issues you describe, but on my system firefox sometimes completely freezes the system when calling some special websites. Then nothing can be done, only the mouse is moving but no mouse clicking, nor keyboard input is possible then. The only way is the hard way: long press power button, so it switches off. I admit, there are some plugins installed, like noscript and ublock origin, which also might interfere. However, for testing purposes on those sites I temporarly deactivate the plugins. And of course, it can not be excluded, that these sites also interfere with the graphics driver, which is Nvidia.
