As I am using Gentoo Linux I have no idea which version of the driver is in Ubuntu, but after having the same problems for a long time with many 30x.xx nvidia driver versions, I tried an upgrade from Nvidia driver 290.10 (which still worked fine) to 304.60 - which seems to work fine again, I am using that version for several weeks now without any problems.
