Thanks. Looks like there's a similar crash:

août 17 23:41:22 Aspire-E5-575G org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1570]: XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Ressource temporairement non disponible) on X server ":0"
août 17 23:41:22 Aspire-E5-575G org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1570]: after 4519 requests (4519 known processed) with 5 events remaining.

but still that machine isn't sending us any shell crash reports. Do you have any relevant files in /var/crash?

It looks like mutter/gnome-shell can catch X IO errors, but doesn't by default?! I guess they're so rare that no developers ever noticed a need.

The error is likely originating from the Nvidia Xorg driver so try using the 'Additional Drivers' app to install the 550 driver instead.
