@aluvian This might be a longshot, but you might try adding the System76 PPA and installing their nVIDIA driver. The reason? All of their laptops are custom spec'd laptops made by CLEVO, so thier custom tweaks might help you. The other thing to try and helped my situation (I do not have the nVIDIA driver) is to download the Intel Linex Driver tool and run that.

If I plug in an external HDMI monitor (FHD) either into either HDMI port (there's one on the machine and there's one available via a usb 3.1 extra adaptor) then the whole system hangs, completely unresponsive and needing a hard reboot. Before hanging the 2nd display gets an image as expected, but the laptop's screen flashes randomly, sometimes you see weird artifacts. Then the hang comes.
