It seems to be a mess, but works: I use the "nvidia" module (lsmod), but for X11 I use "nv" (XF86Config-4). When I configure X11 to use "nvidia" instead of "nv", the machine crashes like you described. "nv" is working. Some weeks ago I tried Ubuntu unstable, but didn't use it anymore since then. When this problem occured, I booted into Ubuntu just to see it crashing like you described, even it was working before Bios-Update and I didn't reconfigure anything. That means: X.org is hit by the problem also, exactly like XFree. Maybe using nv instead of nvidia made you believe Ubuntu would run? And up/downgrading the kernel may have broken the nvidia module, so nv is used instead, so that made you believe the kernel-up/downgrade fixed it? I've to agree: Asus broke our machines.
