Comment # 14 on bug 1220814 from Michael Burge

Just experienced another crash and the stack trace looks all too familiar:

I were directed to this post on nvidia's forums
https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/series-550-freezes-laptop/284772
and although I make use of CUDA in my daily tasks, have since uninstalled the
driver (550.67 since 2024-03-20, don't remember the previous version at the
time of filing this issue on 2024-03-02).

Curious if the other person that had filed an issue is using the proprietary
NVIDIA driver.

PS Since I had no CUDA to do work, I decided to play a game which, in recent
weeks, used to result in an outright restart without any log entries/stack
traces/kdumps within minutes of it starting up.
This time it didn't, and it ran for hours, which points to the nvidia driver
being the cause..
