As you are using nvidia's closed source kernel module, nothing that any of us here can help you out with, sorry :(
Try the beta release of the nvidia drivers, I haven't had any trouble with them thus far.
I had before, but the 190.18.*. It had problems for me.

This one only lasted 12 minutes.
But moving forward, Greg is right.
Yes, crying shame that nvidia has the best linux supported cards and the least collaboration.
I finally dropped back to the 188.18.31 and it has held for several hours. If it dosen't work, I have several older drivers....
There is also ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.36-pkg2.run. I haven't read the README file, but I think your card should be supported. NVidia has always been very quick to respond to reported problems. Using the forum I have always found an answer quickly and that's been over several years and all the kernel changes. You want to try getting something like radeonhd working on some chipsets like AMD's Xpress 1250 or Radeon 9600 I have in a couple of laptops, sometimes you can, sometimes you cannot.
These are R3xx/R4xx chipsets. radeonhd does not support anything smaller than R5xx. For Xpress 1250 and 9600 you need to rely on the radeon driver.
