Hello, I'm suffering from the same issues since upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (crashes are happening on a daily base)
I switched on the latest version from the nvidia driver (current updates version instead of the recommended version) but this did not help. (laptop was sitting crashed this morning after being powered on during the weekend). (dell latitude e6520) I see there is a new kernel 3.2.0.31 available. I'll install this right away and hopefully this brings some improvement. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1033263 Title: Ubuntu 12.04 freezes with nvidia drivers Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After activiting Nvidia drivers complete freezes (only hard reset works).

Newer Nvidia drivers from PPA unsucceslful as well (same problem). Laptop works like a charm with 11.10 and nvidia drivers.
