xfce session nvidia driver freezes | centos 7

Hello,

I have a weird behaviour with my centos 7 fleet (different spec, hundreds of devices).

Problem:
When running xfce, and resizing windows of anything playing a video (vlc, RV, chrome), machine would freeze for a few frames (or sometimes locks up completely). At this point 1-2 reboots is guaranteed per day on average.

/var/log/messages shows multiple Xid 69 errors, sometimes Xid 31.

CentOS Linux release 7.8.2003 (Core)

This has been a problem since centos 7.4 (first detected).
No tied to gpu (running quadros from K to RTX A), nvidia driver version, or machine type (dell\lenovo\hp workstations of different models)

Now to complete surprise, installing gnome fixes everything, no more NVRM errors, no more lockups.
Would very much appreciate if someone could help figure this one out.
