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. Btw are you all KDE users or does this problem happen on Gnome
too?
