Hi,
I don’t really want to make a thread about two problems, but I think the crash could be caused by what the errors refer to, so I’ll mention them here as well. 
Every time my pc boots or shuts down I see these error messages (I had to transcribe this from a picture I took, so the numbers aren’t 100% right).

4.1643889] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: DRM: Pointer to flat panel table invalid
I’m assuming there’s a problem with the graphics drivers, but I don’t know what it means exactly or what I can do.
So I ignored them in the past, especially as everything else was working fine and I don’t know how to deal with that stuff in linux yet.
After the crash I also had a look at dmesg.
Within the buffer limit of bash, these were the red-highlighted outputs:

And here’s a full dmesg:

Are these driver/firmware problems alone responsible for the crash/freeze? Is there another log to help identify crashes??
Other things that might be related:
- plasmashell becomes unresponsive every day at least once
- experiencing screen tearing when scrolling websites up and down, or watching a video.
I would be most obliged for all and any help.
