Memory serves me correctly a similar problem happened in Linux a few years back with X.org combined with (ATI, nVidia). We never determined the root cause, but try disabling apm and acpi if possible (first in the nVidia driver via xorg.conf, next the kernel via either boottime or compile time), and see if the issue persists. That solved a lot of the symptoms seen with the cards.
