    I am using the default nv driver. I too am using a Sony Vaio. Also,
    this happens while I'm working and I'm not doing anything special.

    Realy, my question is how can I diagnose what happened to cause the
    crash. I hear a moment (3 seconds or so) of intense disk activity
    right before the freeze so I think something is being logged (similar
    to XP Dumplog).

    Is there some tool I can use to explore what happened before the
    freeze? I've looked at dmesg but it seems to start over with the
    reboot.

    Can I put something in the grub boot command that will enable some
    kind of logging in case of a crash?

    I've already had my crash for today so I suspect it'll be tomorrow
    before I crash again.
