I have encountered a crash with symptoms matching this one, while running from the 10.04 32-bit live CD.

After starting the live CD, a message displayed suggesting I could install the proprietary nvidia drivers, which I agreed to, selecting the recommended (latest) version - but when it asked me to reboot I realised that while using a live-cd (presumably without persistent storage) rebooting would not in fact cause those drivers to be loaded. Instead, I left the computer running without having rebooted.

I left the computer running in this state; when I returned to it later, apport informed me of a crash. I submitted the report and thought no more about it.

Later, I left the computer again, and returned to find the same error message displayed. I have attached the apport report.

The computer I was doing this on was an NEC WA2510 with specification including 2 AMD Opteron 2218 2.6GHz processors and an nVidia Quadro FX 560 video card running two CRT monitors.
