still getting GPU has fallen off the bus errors even with 295.20 (from x-updates). same if I force the driver to 280.13 (from official repos).

I'm using Gnome Shell, and I experience it most often when I have intensive OpenGL apps running (Trine 1 & 2 running under WINE, Marble Arena 2 running natively in Desura, etc). I experience it more often using Unity, but that is likely because of Compiz using OpenGL. it seems like it has something to do with system load or with heat generation.

I have a GeForce 210 and have DynamicTwinView disabled (as it creates issues with the current nvidia driver and XBMC). My monitor is connected using the DVI port
