Corrupted display - 295.59 - Dell Precision T3500 (G98 [Quadro NVS 295])

Tried upgrading NVIDIA driver to 295.59 to see if it would help with frequent crashes and machine lockups experienced with 295.53 given at:

First crash with 295.59:

Jun 13 15:19:35 ss-geb-dev kernel: NVRM: Xid (0000:02:00): 13, 0001 00000000 00005097 000015e0 00000000 00000040
Jun 13 15:19:35 ss-geb-dev kernel: NVRM: Xid (0000:02:00): 6, PE0004
Jun 13 15:19:36 ss-geb-dev kernel: NVRM: GPU at 0000:02:00.0 has fallen off the bus.

I've downgraded to 290.10 as it seems some people are reporting better luck with that version.

I'm really running out of ideas here...

Bummer; crash with 290.10 as well. So 290.10, 295.53, and 295.59 have all resulted in crashes... Do I have any other options? Run the beta stuff? Eat shards of glass in frustration? Hello, NVIDIA???
