Did you not read his message? I've quoted the relevant section (from
your own email, no less). He's not going to try noveau until he's
determined that the system is once again stable using nv, ensuring
that the cause of his issue was the proprietary nvidia driver and not
a hardware problem with his machine. "I don't want to introduce a new
unknown variable until I am sure wehther [sic] the nividia module is
causing this or it's really some odd hardware fault." How is this
line of troubleshooting effort in any way trollish?
