Title:
  computer freezes (have to reboot)  due to nouveau driver

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The problem seems to be when im browsing the web (any graphics / flash maybe). I have to reboot to recover since the computer just freezes. it originally occured with firefox, so i removed that and used chromium instead, but this also has the same problem. i just reproduced the freeze now while i was using google maps. i have also got this freeze while using mathematica. 
  im using the nouveau drivers, i have an nvidia G96GL (Quadro Fx 580).
  i can see in /var/log/xorg lots of messages relating to nouveau. 

  Is there a way i can capture the freeze and which files to check? 
  one trace i did get mentioned X.org channel or something like that. 
  when i reboot, the system detect there was a crash, so i have allowed ubuntu to analyse any crash logs.

  does anyone know of a better more stable graphics card that works well with ubuntu 13.10
  im using the 32 bit version i686 of ubuntu 13.10. xeon quad core, 24 G ram.

  thanks.
