I'm glad to say I found a workaround to this issue.
Not a fix, just a workaround, but after several tests, the corruption stopped happening.
The issue is clearly related to available resources, because it happens when there are many applications or documents open. So, I experimented change computer setup configuration, increasing video memory.
In my case, there is an option in Bios setup "Dedicated video memory up to", that was set to 64 Mb. The other options are 32 Mb and 128 Mb.
I just changed it to 128 Mb and saved.
Good luck!!

But, after all, I'm very very disappointed with NVidia. They don't support linux users and release drivers completely buggy and with poor performance.
