Nouveau - Sep 2019 - nouveau locking machine solid

Hi .

I am having a very annoying problem not sure where the root of it lies 

When running FLdigi it runs fine for about 10 mineuts then i start
getting errors  leading to a complete lock up that needs a power button
to free it up i get the following

I am aware thisMAY not be a nouveau problem but you are the easier to
contact for starters 

Hope someone can shine some light on this  i am wondering if it is the
fact it is actually quite an old  graphics card now  i have plans to
replace the entire machine but that needs the one thing that is in
short supply right now MONEY  


Thanks Pete .

This is very much a nouveau problem. We do something wrong when
switching channels and the pusher gets upset. This affects Tesla
family GPUs (G8x, G9x, GT2xx).

No known solution.
