100% sure! With the nv module, I have uptime of several days (until I power
down manually ;-)

Can you once disabe the pnp-os-aware bios flag and see wether it also
freezes after 2-30 seconds? Maybe together (with some external help) we can
debug this thing. What NVidia chipset do you exactly have? Mine is: RIVA
TNT2 Mode 64 [Pro]
