    Bad drivers? Also try removing the .compiz directory from home.. It could be a bad setting..

    I don't that would make a difference as newer driver have fixes for 8 series GPU. my card is of 6 series. It has a fully stable driver.

    Something else is the culprit.

    [update]
    tried installing driver from nvidia's site.
    BOOM!
    X failed to resart:D

    tried booting in VESA mode also but same error.

    ERROR: Too many arguments
