I have the same board and cpu combo and have had no freezes or lock ups. I am using an older gforce2 card and have only installed the nvidia driver for it.. I have not found the need to install the rest of the nvidia stuff. Maybe you have bad memory?
I'll bet what the original poster was having is a video card driver problem. I had the exact same problems with an Asus A7V with a GeForce 2 MX running nVidia's drivers. Couldn't seem to run for any substantial period of time without crashing hard enough to lock up everything locally (dead mouse and desktop, no terminals). I could, however, ssh in from another computer on my network, kill X and everything would be fine again.
What worked around the problem was reverting to the Mandrake drivers for the video card. First time after rebooting it ran for a month without any problems. A power surge and a slow to react UPS caused a reboot otherwise I believe it would have run much longer.
Another thing I've read is that if you do choose to use the nVidia drivers you much disable the frame buffer. I believe that will eliminate the problem. This get's rid of bootsplashes but you won't crash.
