I have a: GeForce GTS 450
It was flawless until recent upgrade; I don't suspect power supply.
It only freeze on me two times and right after upgrade; the last time was when I hit a link in thunder-bird email client but I think it has happen when I open a link in
firefox as well (don't remember).
I'll keep monitoring it. I did not upgrade the kernel only the nvidia driver.
