>>So, my conclusion is that the problem happens exactly when the screen
saver takes control and the monitor turns off.

For me it was any sporadically associated with any graphics-related
operation, eg zooming in google earth, or opening a 3D molecule viewer.
I have swapped out the NVS 310 graphics card for an older FX 1800 and
had only one crash of this type since then, instead of the many per day
that I was getting before.

Title:
  desktop freeze, htop shows kernel thread at 100% cpu

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Every few hours the desktop freezes.  I can still login via ssh, htop
  shows one process running at 100%.  The process is shown in red,
  indicating a kernel thread.   No response to ctrl-alt-f1  or to
  service lightdm restart.

  Graphics card is NVIDIA NVS 310.

  I've tried the NVIDIA drivers in various versions up to nvidia-
  current, and also nouveau (current bug report is with logfiles etc
  generated after a crash while running nouveau).

  Xorg.log shows a seg fault:
