I'm running Nvidia driver: 310.32 with my GeForce GTS 450 kernle-3.1.6

Mouse is moving but no icon is responding, nor can I use the keyboard
(all frozen).
I can login to the system over ssh. I've tried to restart/zap "xdm" it
doesn't help.
What else can I do to restart "X"?
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.

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.
