I got a nvidia 8500gt and I was affected by the bug in jaunty every five minute until I change kernel to 2.26.9 (found via ubuntu kernel team packages). The bug appends now 1 time a week. Actually I'm thinking there's several reason/hardware that make the system unstable but until intrepid (and for other distro), this kind of problems was correctly managed. So you can compare your hardware or your syslog, you won't find the real reason that makes your ubuntu crash... So, by changing the kernell, I think I have fixed 99% of bugs but not the freeze/crash himself....

Give a try to this : http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.29.4/

It wont fixe the carsh/freeze but help you to dodge it...

Sorry for my English, I'm not fluent.

Help this can help
