I have been having the exact same problem. My system was rock solid in Intrepid (running for weeks at a time), but now it doesn't even survive for 12 hours of uptime.

My system is an Aspire 6930 with an Intel CPU and an NVIDIA graphics card. I am using the same major release of the video card driver (180). There are no other binary drivers in use.

The problem is getting so bad that it has corrupted my hard drive twice (one partition, then two partitions the second time).

I started using Jaunty in the Beta stage and noticed a known-bug was the unstable X server on intel graphics chips, so when I started having problems I simply assumed it was also affecting some Nvidia chips as well. But now that it's near the end of May, I'm starting to think this is a bit bigger of a problem than I had originally throught.
