No, my question was whether you get a sound hiccup when running
"xset dpms force off"? I do.

Problems on high load can mean anything, e.g. some heat problem.
Maybe you should try to do some stress test on the console (without
XWindow running). For example, you could build a new kernel with
CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=6.

When your PC freezes again, then you should reset and immediately
enter the bios to check the temperature. 65C is usually pretty
close to the edge.

Have you overclocked your CPU or GPU?

I would say its pretty hard to compare a desktop and a laptop

I would suggest to do so. Please remember that this is a bug tracking
system about problems with Debian packages. If you ignore Debian and
use the upstream's Nvidia driver instead, then you might consider to
contact NVidia directly.
