On my NVidia 8600GTS i have the same problem, but on alredy installed 12.10 binary Nvidia driver is unstable and crashes system when using 3D. Using nouveau - everything is stable.
Im not sure... is ubuntu liveCD booting with nVidia binary driver ?
LiveCD crash is so similar to nvidia driver crash (total freeze with trash on screen) and popped up in the same time (the same version of compilation).
