So I became somewhat frustrated by this issue and used new installation media to completely reinstall ubuntu 18.04, removing the old partition and starting again from scratch. I installed steam as soon as the re-installation process had been completed, and downloaded/played Kerbal Space Program. I had exactly the same problem as before, the screen cutting out minutes into the game.
