Clipped to the most useful lines.

This means that it's not a heat problem. OK.

I googled around, and sure enough, it looks like nouveau has problems with this
hardware. 

stretch-backports non-free has 390.87-2~bpo9+1 which might help;
if not, you should consider installing a new video card if
that's an option. The cheapest new-in-box video cards are around
$35 US, and will (a) work properly and (b) be noticeably faster
than what you have now, if it were working.
