I am having issues with my new video card MSI 8600GT. Xorg fires up

I try to switch one of the VCs (c-a-f1/2 etc) or exit X, all I get
is blank screen and no response from KB/mouse etc. Soon the monitor
goes into power save. The only way to fix is reboot. Occasionally, I
will see blank screen with X running having very similar syptoms.
I have noticed that Xorg runs with almost 100% cpu utilization
whenever blank screen event happens. Also, with my prior card I did
not have this problem (prior card was EVGA nvidia 7600GS)
I run stock etch kenel from amd64 distribution latest xorg with nv
driver. Here is exact info
uname -a: Linux lata 2.6.18-4-amd64 #1 SMP Fri May 4 00:37:33 UTC
2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Package: xserver-xorg-video-nv : Version: 1:2.0.3-1
Package: xorg: Version: 1:7.1.0-19
You probably need to think about a different driver. The nvidia-*
packages might be a place to start.
I forgot to ask: How about your screen-savers? Are you running any
distributed computing projects (like BOINC)?
