"Firmware maybe? May need firmware-misc-nonfree which contains firmware for Nvidia cards."
Installed.
"(for the sake of clarity: if your problem is the logging, then fix the logging. If your problem is the freezing, then fix the freezing..)"
Both! But thanks, I've figured out how to limit the size of the logs. Really tho, you'd think there'd be some default protection against syslog filling up your entire disk.
"If you are interested in solving it, it could be useful to understand what triggers it. For example, you can analyze system logs to identify last logged activities before these messages start appearing."
Where do I find that info? As I mentioned, there are so many things in /var/log, I'd like to understand what all those files do. I haven't noticed anything in particular that causes it so far.
