Random hard locks on fresh installs of Ubuntu 12.10 (64 bit), requiring hard reboot. Keyboard is unresponsive, and unable to Ctrl+Alt+F5 etc. This happens with any Desktop environment (GNOME, Cinnamon, KDE). Using NVidia GT240 with NVidia binary blob. This appears to be no pattern to when this happens - can be using any application. Happens several times per day.
With Nouveau my system usually freezes within a couple of minutes of logging in.
