GPU falls off the bus also on
Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit + Dell Precision T5400 (Nvidia Quadro FX 570).
Nvidia drivers are the latest 302.17.

All this seems to be very well known on the NV mailing lists and forums, which show similar bug reports also for 295.x drivers and other distros.

In my case, the screen does not get black, but merely freezes.
The machine does not hang and remains reachable via ssh.

In my case it does not seem to be temperature related (machine is in an air conditioned room, with little load, almost no graphical load and monitor reports the gpu at 57 °C).
