Bringing Xorg server down. I have an asus ROG with geforce gtx-960m. I looked at the xorg server log and it seems to point to a Nvidia crash. I had problems with nouveau drivers. So I went to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia And executed sudo ubuntu-drivers devices == /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 == modalias : pci:v000010DEd0000139Bsv00001043sd0000185Dbc03sc02i00 vendor : NVIDIA Corporation driver : nvidia-352 - distro non-free recommended driver : nvidia-352-updates - distro non-free driver : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin Then proceeded to install nvidia-352 as recommended via apt-get. It works fine except when it crashes every ~6 hours (sudden memory leak then freeze) : When running nvidia-settings it says driver version : 352.63 And I can run cuda and opengl just fine. Previously I was under 14.10 then 15.04 and it was working OK until the 15.10 migration, which was so unstable I had to install back a fresh 14.04. What did I do wrong ? Can you advise what I should do ? Below is the relevant part of : /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old [ 19258.494] reporting 4 6 16 132 (EE) [mi] EQ overflowing.
