Description

## Prerequisites
- [X] I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates.
- [X] I'm using the latest released stable version

Hello,
I am currently running Elementary on a new Dell XPS 15 with an NVIDIA GeForce 1650. When using said GPU, I am unable to suspend the computer. When I do so, I recieve the following error on restart from suspend:

`NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:01:00): 79, pid=589, GPU has fallen off the bus.`

Setting the GPU to persistence mode does not fix the problem, and occasionally generates a whole new string of ACPI errors instead. These read:

I have tried boot-parameter related fixes, setting `acpi_osi=Linux`, or `acpi_osi=Windows`, to no avail.

When I contacted NVIDIA about this, they were uniquely unhelpful, directing me to unresolved forum posts for archlinux from 2012, so I apologize if this isn't the perfect place to post this.

I have seen suggestions that this is related to the device overheating. I will note that I am having this issue constantly; zoom calls alone are enough to get my entire computer up to 100 C in a number of seconds.

Device specifications are attached.
