Public bug reported: I recently installed steam on my system (Ubuntu 18.04), installed a couple of games and attemped to play them. About a couple of minutes in to playing cities: skylines, kerbal space program and mount and blade: warband, the screen goes blank and the computer freezes. A hard reboot is the only way to proceed. I have reinstalled drivers several times, with no change in this situation. I know it's not a specs problem because I ran these games on the exact same machine a couple of weeks ago when I had Windows 10 installed (which I have since removed). I think this is an xorg problem but I am not sure.
