not true. even with the latest driver installed, downloading a simple program from the ubuntu software center started causing the random log outs again. thanks to a suggestion from @Romuald C. i used the .run file provided by nvidia to reinstall the driver instead of using a deb package. now my machine seems to be running fine, but then again it was running just fine when i first installed the new drivers as well before the log outs started happening again.
