hi!
same with me. I've been struggling with this problem for at least two-three
weeks. Freezes completely while using X. I tried kernel downgrade, nvidia
downgrade, ndiswrapper reinstall. I monitor CPU temperature and it is never
higher then 48 Celcius even after 10 hours of 100% load. I still have XP
partition on it and the bastard runs rock solid so I rather rule out hw
problem.
I've been trying to install kexec/kdump to get a memory dump (god I'd love
to get a blue screen) - see the thread in the forum.
Anyway my system became extremely unstable and I have no clue why.

Good luck, I haven't given up yet :-)
