Switching to the 331.38 proprietary drivers from Nvidia seems to have
stopped the crashes.  However this is not a long term solution as I
prefer free software and it pains me greatly to have to use non-free
software.  I hope you can help me to use free software only.

Nvidia driver 331.38 works for me.  No crashes

Nouveau driver does not work.
