The thing that has fixed it on every system has been to use portdowngrade to reset the nvidia driver to: nvidia-driver-1.0.8776 (possibly with an extra _4 in the portdowngrade list) Hope this helps. Awesome - will def try it. I ended up pulling my card out and just = running the onboard - which works - but annoys me endlessly. Thanks for the help! :)
