I too am running older hardware (GeForce 630), and I was getting frequent lockups on a previous version of Debian (either Jessie or Stretch, I think), so I switched to nVidia's proprietary driver and the problem went away. Somewhere along the line of Debian upgrades, the system reverted to using nouveau. I'm currently running Buster, and my machine spontaneously reboots once a day or so. I've just replaced nouveau with the nVidia driver (version 390.143). So far, so good. I'm hoping my machine will become stable once again. -- /~\ Charlie Gibbs | \ / <cgibbs@kltpzyxm.invalid> | "Alexa, define 'bugging'."
