I have the same problem with this card.

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44 [Quadro NVS 285] 
(rev a1)
        Subsystem: nVidia Corporation Device 029d
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
        Memory at f6000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
        Memory at f8000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
        Memory at f7000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
        [virtual] Expansion ROM at fc000000 [disabled] [size=128K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: nvidia
        Kernel modules: nvidia, nvidiafb

The problem appeared after a recent update. It, how ever, does not
freeze the whole computer but simply the user interface. I'm not able to
do anything locally, but I can open an ssh connection to the computer.
Restarting gdm or executing chvt from the remote shell does not help.
Moving /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.foo seemed to fix the
issue after a reboot, by defaulting to another driver.

** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

--
