It will demonstrate if the problem is with the nVidia driver. I would also disable all compositing effects.
My instinct is that the card is getting too hot. If it works fine from a cold start but then acts up at some later point, I usually start tracking down thermal issues. I would also guess that the monitor that is blurry is connected via the VGA connector. Turn off all of the fancy effects and then try again. The nvidia settings app should have a section that lists the card's temperature. This is a new problem for me, and I have experienced just about every conceivable GPU issue that you can imagine (I have a lot of video cards kicking around and for some reason I have a tendency to test them in the hope that the drivers improve). I am more or less platform agnostic, GPU drivers suck on all platforms, just more so under Linux. For reference I have ATI 5550, 5770, 6950, 6970, (a 7950 until recently) and nVidia 9800, 660Ti, and a GTX Titan. They all suck to varying degrees under Linux (and Windows just less so, the whole industry is in serious need of drivers that don't suck) . I get the best results from Intel's integrated GPUs these days, especially under Linux. If I am not gaming Intel is my first choice by a wide margin, regardless of the platform, even on a core2duo/quad.
