Hi, I think I'm having the same or a very similar problem on my 10.10 install. My system is freezing randomly where any mouse or keyboard action is ignored. I have to do a cold reboot to get it up again. The system also seems to go very hot after a while as the fan starts working very hard. My feeling is that it's isolated to the graphics and especially the Nvidia driver, but I haven't had the chance to log in through ssh and have a look behind yet.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and it's been running fine since the install. These problems started about a week ago. I can't find any driver upgrades around that time. But I'm updating the system on a regular basis, so any other update might have caused this. I just don't know wich one. Looking through the messages log, I can't find anything particular happening around the crashes. But I do have loads of entries saying "NVRM: os_raise_smp_barrier(), invalid context!". I've tried to add pci=nommconf to Grub2 without any success.
