I have the same sort of issue... Ubuntu 20.04 (Ubuntu Studio spin).

From Xorg.0.log

Video freezes, external display will go black or the system will crash (I expect it is only X that crashes because if I am editing audio in Audacity, the audio will continue to play, yet I will have to hard reset my machine to regain control. Keyboard and mouse input are dead as part of X system. I have not tried remoting in to it from another machine yet.

Running a MacBook Pro retina mid 2012 with 8GB RAM and the i7 processor with GeForce GT 650M Mac Edition graphics chip at 4K@30Hz output. If I have the system running powersave, I get the hard crashes, with ondemand governor I get the timeouts. Going to performance causes the fans to run all the time which is loud.
