For what it's worth, I've always been suspicious of nouveau.
I too am running older hardware (GeForce 630), and I was getting
frequent lockups on a previous version of Debian (either Jessie
or Stretch, I think), so I switched to nVidia's proprietary driver
and the problem went away.

Somewhere along the line of Debian upgrades, the system reverted
to using nouveau.  I'm currently running Buster, and my machine
spontaneously reboots once a day or so.  I've just replaced
nouveau with the nVidia driver (version 390.143).  So far,
so good.  I'm hoping my machine will become stable once again.
