The solution I found for preventing system freezing for DELL G3 3590, with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 (it may apply to other NVIDEA computers), on both Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 is:

Add to .profile:

nvidia-settings -a [gpu:0]/GpuPowerMizerMode=1

Open /etc/default/grub and edit the line

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

by adding "acpi_rev_override=1" to the list, so it becomes

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_rev_override=1"

Then run

sudo update-grub
