Quite uncertain. The machine is very stable w/o the NV drivers. |

But just loading the kernel module and waiting a few mins |
| 15 |
ends up in an total lockup. I could 100% reproduce this problem with |
| 16 |
several nv-chipset based notebooks (different geforce versions). |

Ah, and there had been an preinstalled Vista on that box, which |
| 18 |
worked perfectly with 3D stuff. |

So I don't think it's an hw issue. |
