[clug] Diagnosing display freeezes

If all else fails, try vacuuming out the nvidia card heatsink and fan. Did mine the other day as it was full of gunk, as well as the rest of my case.

Following up on them seems to have scared the symptom into submission
for now, which in the short term is ideal, and I now have a plan for
when it re-presents as it almost certainly will .
Couldn't trigger it with xev
htop running
lmsensors installed and I'll work out how to use it this evening.
