I am also affected by this bug and switching to proprietary driver also
solves the crash. GPU gtx 550 Ti.

Title:
  nouveau video driver crashing X.  Total freeze of computer  14.04.1

Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  14.04.1 crashes.  I suspect the nouveau video driver.  Can not use bug
  report from within problem computer as it freezes very quickly after
  login.  Video display freezes first with visual corruption followed by
  keyboard.  Mouse works for about 10 to 20  seconds more then stops
  working.  Final stage the keyboard lights start flashing.  Hard reset
  required.

  14.04.1 with all updates applied as of October 8th, 2014.
  Using nouveau video driver
  Nvidia 8800GT card
