These gpu lockup bugs typically involve your computer freezing (except sometimes the mouse cursor moves), with a blank screen or the screen no longer painting or responding to clicks. Only way to recover is to power cycle your computer.

Do you ever notice problems such as that? From the log message it appears you did experience that at one time.

(Reason I ask is we sometimes get false positives with the capture tool.)

I get two error messages when I login, these sometimes come back 4 or 5 times. After the errors my computer is normally fine for awhile. Randomly the screen gets scrambled, sometimes it goes back to my screen and I can move the mouse but can't click and the only thing I can do with the keyboard is open a text console which I use to restart.

I've had to restart at least 4 or 5 times in the last few hours but sometimes I will only have to once or twice a day. I update my packages several times a day hoping for a fix to this.
