I have a Dell Precision 7500 with an Nvidia NVC0 (Fermi) GF100GL Quadro 4000
video card and two iiyama B2783QSU monitors. Very nice indeed when it comes up,
but after 3-30 minutes the monitors freeze and lock up.  No reaction to any
keyboard or mouse activity.  I have to SSH to the box to restart it.

I tried telinit 3 followed by telinit 5, but this leaves me with two blank
monitors, receiving a signal (monitor's blue light).

xscreensaver is not installed, neither is any other program calling
itself "screensaver".

I tried swapping the card with an identical GF100GL card and got the same
freeze.

I attach the result of command dmesg > kernel_log.txt,
Xorg.0.log, and the result of command lspci -k -vv -s 03:00.0

Did you ever try to install nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver? - https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Version_390.144-2

Nouveau is not better for graphics processing units newer than 8/9 and 200/300 series.
