I am getting this issue but it also happens on HTML5 videos and not just Flash. I would say watching YouTube, I crash once every 20 minutes on average. Sometimes it reboots my machine and sometimes it just restarts X.

Using 12.04 (3.2.0-26-generic)
Nvidia driver 295.40

Example in my logs:

[ 1615.728857] do_general_protection: 147 callbacks suppressed
[ 1615.728861] Xorg[1321] general protection ip:7f701ce7b6a9 sp:7fff19cbd2f0 error:0 in nvidia_drv.so[7f701ce1a000+6e0000]

Hope this is a high priority, though I know Ubuntu has zero control over the binary Nvidia drivers. In any case, it makes watching YouTube vids impossible, whether they be HTML5 or Flash.
