This keeps happening (after several reboots). The freezes seem to always
occur at a mouse click.
How often the freezes happen seems to be apparently random. I have
experienced three freezes within very few minutes, and have also been
more than half an hour without freezes.
This is huge and has started happening just when I switched to NVidia
drivers. Please anybody report this to the appropriate people at NVidia,
this needs urgent attention.
The part where the plugging the external monitor causes an unrecoverable
freeze is not systematic.

Bug description:
I've started observing this bug since i've started using NVidia's
additional drivers (yesterday). Before that I was using nouveau, which
happened to use the builtin Intel GPU and not the NVidia card.
I have an external monitor which I usually connect to the laptop. I have it
configured so it's the only screen when it's connected. When I unplug it,
automatically the laptop's builtin screen turns on, and when I plug it, the
laptop's builtin screen turns off.
This has worked just fine until yesterday. Then I switched to NVidia's
proprietary drivers.
Now the problem, 100% systematically reproducible, is as follows:
- I disconnect the external screen (and external keyboard and mouse), move my
laptop and start using it alone. At the beginning everything works fine, then:
- from time to time (every few minutes), the system seems to freeze:
- mouse cursor doesn't move. Nothing responds to touchpad movements or
clicks
- nothing apparently responds to keystrokes, such as alt+tab to switch
window, or Ctrl+Alt+T to open a terminal. I'm not sure this ever happened while
I was typing and had a focused window where to type, so I cannot tell for sure
it wouldn't respond to typing
- no signs of abnormal CPU consumption, though, nor of disk activity
- hitting ctlr+Alt+F1 does work and immediately brings the virtual console
- hitting ctrl+Alt+F7 brings the graphics screen again and it works, that is,
it fixes the issue, reesstablishing normal functioning
- unless it happens again.
The first time I observed it (this is the second), this also happened:
- then I plug in the external monitor again. It turns on, shows the screen
output as expected; the builtin screen turns off, everything looks normal
- except the system is frozen again
- and this time not even Ctrl+Alt+F1 work. Completely frozen. No way out
except a hard reboot
- unplugging the external monitor doesn't fix the issue, either
