In my case, possibly my upgrades from experimental. I think I have seen a couple of other threads where pulling previous updates from experimental has lead to problems once the freeze ended.I'm going to downgrade to the nvidia drivers in sid and try 3.8 again.

On a Dell Precision M4600 laptop, I installed a clean Wheezy release, installed nvidia drivers along with the dkms packages that go with. Because of network driver trouble, I took the kernel from sid.Thanks. That's good to know. Only some folks are affected. I wonder why?
After that, everything works fine. I mean, video is fine. Networking still a problem. Here is my version information:
