I invoke X using 'startx', i did an uptime and that's my load average: 0.41, 0.15, 0.06. As I said before, even booting with an older kernel and reinstalling an older version of the driver, the problem continues. I've tried everything of NVIDIA's FAQ's and forums with no success. I posted a question there but they didn't answer. Thanks for your reply, -- Alberto C. Jr.
