If downgrading nvidia-drivers doesn't help check your power supply. My
computer exhibited this issue a while back because the voltages went all
wonky and the hardware really didn't like it - I could still ssh in from
my tablet but the entire computer appeared frozen.
If I just ran at the console (ie not starting X) the computer would work
fine all day.
I don't know what nvidia card you have but mine requires two extra power
connectors but the PSU just couldn't supply enough power to keep the GPU
stable.
