Comment 19 for bug 157777

It happens the same to me. I have a NVIDIA Geforce 7300 and a AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+. GNOME freezes many times and the GNOME panel behaves very unstably (some items don't work after some time and I can only restart the OS).

It seems that I can work a little more time with GNOME if I disable the option to turn off the monitor after some time. I have configured my system to put a black screen when "inactive" instead and I switch off my monitor manually when I'm not working with it for a long time.
