I am forced to use a windoze 7 box and recently MS decided in its infinite
wisdom to update the nvidia driver via windoze update. My machine
immediately started with the same symptoms David is having...hanging at
indeterminate times, even a BSOD twice. It would do this even when idle
during the night.
Googling for an answer resulted in finding a forum related to the nvidia
web site on which there was a post suggesting that there were a lot of
problems with the current version and we should reinstall back level
drivers. The post suggested going back to 314.22. I did so and have not
had a single problem since.
YMMV
