Public bug reported: I don't know if this is an Xorg (1:7.7+1ubuntu4) or Nvidia issue, as the problem has repeated when using the 304.x, 310.x and 313.x drivers.
The end result is either the screen going black, becoming largely pixelated, or simply unresponsive. In all instances Xorg is using 100% of the cpu and I also see various migration/0 and migration/1 commands with nonphysical amounts of cpu usage (i.e. sum of all processes > 100%). There doesn't seem to be any unique trigger that causes the problem and it happens on a non-repeating schedule. Sometimes I can work for several weeks without an issue and other times it will require a hard reboot several times per day. I don't know if it is related to the issue described in here, https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/537302/linux/both-screens- black-xorg-at-100-cpu-overflow-errors-in-xorg-0-log-nvidia-driver-310-14 -quadro-fx/ but the symptoms are similar.
