System becomes un-responsive due to gpu segfault

[Finn Bear]

I was using:
Ubuntu 20.04 (installed a month ago, updated recently)
Vmware Workstation 16 (Ubuntu 20.04 VM)
Nvidia GTX 1080 TI Driver Version: 450.80.02 CUDA Version: 11.0

What happened:
System instantly became unresponsive. Mouse stopped moving, keyboard had no effect (tried ALT+F2). I had to press and hold the power button until the system hard reset. This is the second time I observed this type issue, but last time, the mouse would move with extreme lag.

Since the computer restarted, the log saved in /tmp is gone.
