Personal experience, confirmed by searches on nvnews.net, with nvidia's
driver:

You will get hard locks, at random (immediate to around 10minutes after
login) when:

- you have a multiples CPUs OR a dual core processor
- you use the nvidia-glx-new package (driver 100.14.11)
- This freeze occurs EVEN when not using compiz

As a workaround, until the long away time when nvidia helps fixing the bug:

- Revert to the 1.09755 NVIDIA drivers, which will need to be manually
installed (note: you will need to disable loading of the nvidia drivers
provided by restricted manager)
- Boot using maxcpus=1
