Last time I tried GTX970 (not GTX970M) I hit bug 1575516. But you seem
to have got further than that.
With other Nvidia chips I have encountered freezes like you describe.
Although I don't think all our nouveau bugs are optimally triaged yet.
One issue worth mentioning is nouveau multi-monitor support, which is
presently broken due to bug 1553328. It's possible Unity8/Mir
experiences instability for the same reason even with a single display.
Are you able to find evidence of a crash or in your kernel log of what
happened at the time of freezing?

Bug description:
I installed Ubuntu 16.10 yesterday and Unity 8 constantly freezes
after I do some clicking around the desktop (using Browser, System
Settings and the like), I am running it on Nouveau driver for GTX970M,
I refrained from installing proprietary drivers to test Unity 8, but
it is unusable and after it freezes I can only power off my laptop as
nothing works. Is this a known issue? Also Unity 7 does not load at
all, but I will post a separate bug for that.
