Have you tried to run some benchmarks to force the issue? By doing that 
you could reveal some potential problem with inadequate cooling or 
problems of electrical nature.
It is quite old hardware so it is hard to tell for sure. There could be 
myriad reasons why it freezes, ranging from faulty capacitors on 
motherboard and VGA to a faulty PSU.

Doesn't matter if you have 'nouveau' installed, since proprietary nvidia 
driver blacklists it for you upon installation.

It looks like a hardware problem to me, even if you say it takes two 
days to freeze.
Can you tell us more about your system. Is it laptop or is it stationary 
workstation?
Was it working just fine before you upgraded to 'bullseye' (ver 5.10 
kernel)?
Have you tried to force reinstall 'nvidia-legacy-390xx-kernel-dkms' 
package after kernel was updated to ver 5.10?
It is a good practice to rebuild dkms module after major kernel version 
upgrade using new kernel source files.

I'd test the VGA with live Linux OS or with test Windows installation, 
just to out-rule the possible hardware problems.
