I invoke X using 'startx', i did an uptime and that's my load average:
0.41, 0.15, 0.06.
As I said before, even booting with an older kernel and reinstalling an
older version of the driver, the problem continues. I've tried
everything of NVIDIA's FAQ's and forums with no success. I posted a
question there but they didn't answer.
Thanks for your reply,
