This happens to me too, but with Ubuntu 20.04. It started shortly after the latest nvidia-graphics-driver-470 update. Symptoms are:

* graphical output freezes completely
* no reaction to any kind of input (no switching to tty either)
* ssh works and shows Xorg as using 100% CPU
* Xorg process can't be killed
* shutdown command is not executed (only ssh connection is terminated)

My GPU: GTX970. I've never had this problem before, although my PC is has not been modified for years. Now it happens multiple times per day!
