Among the notable improvements, the driver introduces a new environment variable, CUDA_DISABLE_PERF_BOOST, allowing users to disable CUDA’s default behavior of automatically boosting GPU clock speeds to higher power states during compute workloads.

    When it comes to Nvidia driver for Linux, my suggestion is - always stick to the version you find stable enough.

    In my case, Last Nvidia 580 driver version works smoothly on my Desktop. Earlier I was on 550.

    On a side note, faulty RAM often cause system freeze/crash. You might want to run memtest from boot menu as well.
