Ubuntu 20.04 freezes randomly, sometimes after 20 minutes, sometimes after several hours.

This means I can't move the mouse nor do anything with my keyboard. If sound is playing it repeats in ~2 second loop. No keyboard combination does anything. Only a hard reboot with the PC power switch gets my computer to restart.

According to this post I have collected some information, though I am a newbie to these things and can't make any real sense of any of this:

I'm sorry if any of this is unrelated. I am suspecting my GPU is not working properly, because my programs run much more slowly than on my dual boot Windows on the same system. Also, I get some libcudart and libcublas errors when running some of my programs, and these seem to be related to my GPU as far as I know.

Do you have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot or resolve this issue?

As requested I ran the commands dmesg,cat /var/log/syslog ,journalctl and this are the results:

github-files

cat ...

journalctl

I couldn't paste all this code in here due to body limitation, so I put it on GitHub.

I'll be giving the possible solutions:

  1. Reinstall Gnome:
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install --reinstall systemd gnome-settings-daemon gnome-settings-daemon-common

I'll be updating...
