It turns out my xorg.conf gets corrupt for some reason. Today when I
rebooted the computer wouldn't start (same flickering white bar).
Running nvidia-xconfig solved the problem. I will now make a copy of
my current xorg.conf and compare it to one that is corrupt. Hopefully
that will tell me what the problem is and maybe what causes it.

Should anyone have a better suggestion, please let me know.
