Hi,

Recently, I installed Ubuntu 18.04 on my Dell G7 7588. From day one, the
system has random freezes/crashes (usually a few a day)

The way the crashes manifest is that 2 out of my 3 monitors go black and
in some cases sound and inputs get stuck. In some rare cases, I can
continue to operate on one of the screens.

I checked syslog and dmesg, and usually I don't see any messages at the
time of the crash, except this one time that input did not freeze and I
could run a dmesg. In that case I got this message:

Feb 13 15:34:51 morningstar kernel: [ 1593.615704] [drm:gen8_de_irq_handler 
[i915]] *ERROR* Fault errors on pipe B: 0x00000080
Feb 13 15:34:51 morningstar kernel: [ 1593.615999] 
[drm:intel_cpu_fifo_underrun_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* CPU pipe B FIFO 
underrun

Additionally, this message appears on dmesg fairly often:
...
Feb 13 15:21:17 morningstar kernel: [  780.324457] CPU6: Package temperature 
above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 109)
Feb 13 15:21:17 morningstar kernel: [  780.324457] CPU0: Package temperature 
above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 109)
...

I tried to solve this issue on my own for a while now, without success,
here are some of the things I tried:

- Updated BIOS to latest version
- Installed nvidia 415 graphic drivers
- Tested using xwayland
- Tried 4.15.0-45-48, 4.19.16 and 4.19.20 kernels (this last one generates 
problems with the graphic drivers, and does not solve the problem either.
- Tried modifying power management profile on the BIOS.
- Added splash acpi_rev_override=1 to /etc/default/grub as found here: 
https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/63cavx/fixed_nvidia_1050_freezing_in_ubuntu_linux/
- Ran dell diagnostic tools (no errors there)

So far none of this things solved the issue. These error messages are
the only noticeable things I could find to debug...

Can someone help me find a fix or workaround the issue? I've been
spending multiple days trying to solve this and I am not making any real
progress

Please let me know if you need me to submit more information to find the
cause of the issue
