Yeah, I'm sure your HW is fine. But it just stops responding (reasonably) to
nouveau when this happens, and we don't know what to do about it. Perhaps this
is "normal" and the blob drivers know how to kick it in that case. Or perhaps
we're doing something wrong to push the hw over the brink of sanity.

cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/pstate

I can provide more instructions when you give me the output of that.
