Desktop freeze and corruption after playing Steam game

[Dario Menin]

Steps for reproducing this issue:

   - Open Steam launching Age Of Empires 2 Definitive edition with discrete graphics card
   - Play Game
   - Observe some stuttering in game, then close the game
   - Steam locks up and after a short time the whole desktop hangs and becomes unresponsive (mouse pointer still moves, keyboard doesn't work, for example alt+shift+fN)
   - In the meanwhile, the mouse cursor and some regions of the Steam window become corrupted
   - System must be rebooted with sysrq REISUB
