Unlike nouveau, the NVIDIA driver indeed does not crash the system.

More importantly, disabling the flash plugin in chromium leads to increased
uptime before the crash happens, thus indicating a negative correlation between
video memory activity and the time to crash: as said before, the more you run
ardour3 (or chromium with flash), the earlier your (here: my) system will
crash.
