Same Problem here on a Lenovo T61p:

I installed latest nvidia driver via "NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.36-pkg2.run":
NVIDIA Driver Version: 185.18.36

Since Ubuntu 8.10 I get periodically hard locks with blinking caps lock during 
work on a docking station.
I could isolate the appearance of the hard lock being in conjunction with a two 
monitor setup (In docking mode) and strong wireless network activity.

When I work with two monitors - both (Thinkpad display and an external
LCD) 1920x1200 resolution - and listen to internet radio its like rusian
roulette and thus a show-stopper for productive work.

I use NVIDIA X Server Setting Application to conveniently detect and
apply a clone setup for the second display.

When I work on my thinkpad without external Monitor it works stable. I
cannot remember having any hard locks without having a multi monitor
setup.

Thus I also decided to try the latest nvidia driver, which improved the
2D appearance but did not solve the hard lock problems.

Please let me know how I could help to solve this annoying issue. In the
meantime I hope that it will be solved in Karmic.

all the best,
cue
