So raely it will just freeze or when watching a vid. the screen will go black (like powersaving, but a button press will not bring it back). Will a new kernel cure this, I have 2.6.38 (I think) now? No compiling I want is through the package tool.

Hmm, can't say i've heard of this before. Is it a whole system crash or just X? Can you press ctrl+alt+f1 to take you to a terminal?

Next time I will see.

sounds like graphic driver problems, is it a desktop or laptop? Any other cards to try?

No other cards & desktop, I never installed the driver. It is still the Linux default one. Oh and ctrl+alt+f1 didn't really work, it just made the sound stop playing. The only Nvidia app, on sys. is Nvidia-common.

sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

X crashing with the generic driver is odd, but if the company driver will fix it ok.

Ok installed, should I worry about this?

It won't even go into Gnome now, the lastvthing it says is Stopping boot-time encrypted devices. I have no encryption on the sys at all & when I load a previews version, it is just a few lines on the top of the screen. 5:00 PM I went to graphic failsafe & removed the Nvidia stuff & now I get enabling binary executable support binfnt (that isn't exactley it) but failsafe brings gnome up. Fixed, when I uninstalled the Nvidia driver it left my config messed up, so I just set it back to how it was.
