Public bug reported:

I am running Lucid with a nVidia Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 220].  I
have had this exact configuration for > 1 year and it had been running
stable.

Starting approximately 1 month ago, I began to experience strange screen
black out and lock ups when running 3d games.  I have seen this with
Trine, Steel Storm, Aquaria, etc.

These lock ups seem to be accompanies by the following messages in
/var/log/messages:

kernel: [100573.805121] NVRM: os_pci_init_handle: invalid context!

Sometimes, I can log into the system via SSH.  In one case I managed to
capture dmesg output while the screen was locked.  I found the
following:

As I said, the system had been running very stable and I had no similar
problems w/ 3D gaming until about 1 month ago.

To try to work around this I have so far:

Enabled Sync to VBlank in OpenGL Settings
Set PowerMizer to "Max Performance"
Reinstalled Nvidia drivers
Disabled PowerMizer by adding the following to xorg.conf: 
  Option "RegistryDwords" "PowerMizerEnable=0x1; PerfLevelSrc=0x3322; 
PowerMizerDefaultAC=0x1"
Disabled Desktop Effects
Disabled Desktop Sharing 

None of these has helped.

I can reproduce this reliably by playing Trine for 5- 10 minutes.

I have full dmesg output and output of nvidia-bug-report.sh if that
helps.
