I updated the BIOS and still the same result. I also tried using ppa ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers . But, still the same. Finally, I switched to nvidia-367 drivers and it works without crashing (though not everything works - gdm does not work with nvidia drivers - only xdm ) . Anyway, I don't like proprietory stuff and would really love to have nouveau drivers work .
