I also get the same random crashes in X. I'm using the free driver that comes with Ubuntu (nv). I was getting black screens while trying the Nvidia supplied driver (180.44) installed both manually and using the repository. The legacy drivers (173 and 177) didn't work either; it crashes before it even loads X/desktop. I have not tried nouveau but I suspect the result will be the same.
