Yes, I have other problems for sure... :(
Disabling desktop effect does not solve the problem, I have already tried.
I have a Windows installation, but it is inside VirtualBox. I don't have any OS other than Linux.

This situation started with a dist-upgrade of a few days ago.
As far as I remember, it has only upgraded nvidia-current and xserver-xorg stuff. Before this upgrade all works like a charm, as ever!

But it is very very strange that downgrading xorg and nvidia-current doesn't solve the problem. (this is why I'm thinking of an imminent graphics card failure).

@Ivan:
Nope, I have an old GeForce 8500GT (G86 family). Thks!

@All:
I think to be off-topic here...
Anyway I noticed that some seconds before the system totally crash, the X process goes to 100% of cpu utilization.
Then the system becomes totally unresponsiveness, even through ssh.

Thanks for your help!
