Title:
  Random Display Freeze, Multiple Times a Day

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I was running 10.04, but did a clean install of 11.10, and I get
  complete freezes on a regular basis. Before this, 10.04 was incredibly
  stable.

  I can't use the keyboard, and the mouse pointer does not move.

  Easy way to reproduce, I have a skype conversation, and then move a
  window. That tends to do it quite easily.

  I've noticed if I'm listening to music, the music does keep playing,
  so it's not a kernel panic.

  I upgraded to the latest nvidia driver (285.05.09) in an attempt to
  fix the issue, but just had a freeze, so that wasn't it.

  I also note that since I upgraded, my fans run a lot, as it looks like
  my nvidia card is doing a lot of work with Unity, even when I'm not
  actively using it. It never did this under 10.04 (and I use to have a
  lot of Compiz effects running).

  Next time it freezes, I'll be sure to ssh in and get a tail of the
  dmesg.

  Let me know what I can do to help.
