That's certainly out of the norm, at least from my experience (with a
couple of boxes). Before I the motherboard died, I was running an athlon
machine with a Geforce2 MX 24/7 for 2 years. I was rebooting every 2-3
months (usually for kernel or hardware upgrades), but iirc, never had X
or the box crash on me.
Perhaps it's something funky about your work machine? Have you tried the
non-proprietary drivers? (If you can)

Assertion 1: There is no decent open source drivers for 3D video cards
Unfortunately, this definitely does seem to be true.
My box at work has the binary Nvidia drivers and about once a fortnight
or so, X dies, restarts and provides me with GDM login screen. For someone
who keeps half a dozen windows open with what I'm working on, this is
a royal PITA.
