Just for fun --- is your video hardware nVidia? NVidia hardware, its
proprietary drivers, and its reverse-engineered FOSS drivers make all
sorts of nasty intermittent problems.

You can get a good, simple, modern Radeon card pretty cheap these days.
No good for gaming, but I watch videos with it just fine, and it has no
fan.

If replacing nVidea with Radeon doesn't work, I think you've ruled out
the video hardware, and you still have a nice Radeon for your next
build.
