Ubuntu 18.10 occasional system freeze (maybe graphics related)

Since doing a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.10 on new hardware (Asus Prime B450-Plus, G.Skill Trident 16GB, AMD Rizen 5 1600, GTX 750 Ti 2GB) I’ve had occasional system freezes (locked screen, keyboard and mouse) that require a hard boot (front panel power off/on) to recover. The system freezes seem to occur in graphics-intensive programs like video streaming (Firefox), Darktable photo editing (very important), Google Maps (Firefox), Stellarium but not always. One freeze occurred while editing in the Bluefish html editor and another occurred while the system was idle.
After each freeze event I examined the Logs file after re-booting and found “Important” entries that occurred during the most recent boot:



*9:19:53 AM spice-vdagent: Cannot access vdagent virtio channel /dev/virtio-ports/com.redhat.spice.0



9:19:49 AM gdm3: GLib-GObject: g_object_add_weak_pointer: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed



9:19:47 AM kernel: nouveau 0000:06:00.0: bus: MMIO read of 00000000 FAULT at 10ac08 [ IBUS ]*



I suspect the fault is occurring in the graphics system because of the reference to nouveau but I am strictly a novice at Linux so I’m just guessing at this point. I have not installed the NVIDIA graphics driver.



What's the best course of action to resolve this?

          First, please reboot into the BIOS/Setup app, following chapter two of your motherboard manual, and reset to the system defaults. You may have chosen a BIOS/Setup option which drives the hardware faster than it will go.



          Secondly, unplug then reseat the memory modules, following instructions on pages 10 and 11 of your manual. While you're doing that, compare the memory module part number to the part numbers on the Asus Prime B450-Plus Qualified Vendor List and confirm it is listed there.



          If the issue persists, I certainly would consider installing the manufacturer's driver for your GTX 750 Ti 2GB, for nouveau freezes are not unheard of.



          And, last but not least, the we-only-support-this-for-nine-months interim releases of Ubuntu like 18.10 are not what I'd use for new hardware. Stick with 18.04 LTS, or better yet, 16.04 LTS until you know the system is stable, then you can go to the bleeding edge.
