Do you have the same problems with the generic "nv" driver? I am going
to guess that the nvidia driver could be the problem. There are just so
many variables. For me (YMMV - YMMV!) the most stable conditions (on my
Sony Vaio) are achieved as follows:
1. Putting "modprobe nvidia" in rc.local rather than copying the device
drivers to /etc/udev/devices.
2. Recompiling the kernel with no AGP nor DRI support whatsoever. This
has allowed me to power off without a freeze.
