The machine is very stable w/o the NV drivers. But just loading the kernel module and waiting a few mins ends up in an total lockup. I could 100% reproduce this problem with several nv-chipset based notebooks (different geforce versions). Ah, and there had been an preinstalled Vista on that box, which worked perfectly with 3D stuff. So I don't think it's an hw issue. > hundreds, thousands, maybe millions of nvidia-on-linux users don't > have problems. Where do you got these numbers from ?
