This affects me too. I'm using 10.10, 460 GTX.

However I found that nouveau kernel module is still loaded on boot even if nvidia proprietary driver is installed and activated. When I blacklisted nouveau the issue looks to be fixed.

Disabling nouveau is described here
ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/260.19.12/README/commonproblems.html

It is needed to create /etc/modprobe.d/disable-nouveau.conf file with the following two lines added:
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0

After doing this I didn't meet this issue for 3 days.
