I've been running the NVIDIA180.60 which I installed manually for a week now and just experienced my first crash with the same symptoms: Psychedelic pixelated screen. The crashes on 180.44 were far more often though (once a day at least) and this time I was also still able to shut down the System since the Desktop was still usable. 173 was still the most stable for me without a crash I can recall.
Here the errors from the Xorg.0.log during the crash The errormessages are the same we saw before: .... (II) NVIDIA(0): Initialized GPU GART. (II) NVIDIA(0): Initialized GPU GART. (WW) NVIDIA(0): The NVIDIA X driver has encountered too many errors. Falling (WW) NVIDIA(0): back to write-back cached memory. (II) NVIDIA(0): Initialized GPU GART. .... I'm taking the issue to the NVIDIA forum for now and see how far I get there.
