This sounds like an issue with the i915 driver. When the static
screenshot is shown, i915 may have turned on panel self-refresh
(PSR). There were numerous PSR issues.

It's very odd that this should be related to a root port suspending.
If mouse movements are still visible, the I/O ports of the keyboard
and mouse must still be accessible.
Perhaps you could apply the attached small debug patch, this will
log a message whenever a device runtime suspends/resumes, so it
should log when the root port that's causing trouble goes to D3.
Then we would at least know which one it is.
My money is on the root port above the Nvidia card, you can also
try to keep that one awake with
echo on > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:01.0/power/control
