Do you have xorg.conf? Do you have 'zapping' (killing X with ctr+alt+backspace) enabled?
Have you run nvidia-xconfig? Any errors in the logs? Do you have compositing enabled, compiz, what DE / WM are you using?

Add the following to your .xinitrc to enable X zapping.
setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

The same thing happened on my laptop. Unless you have a Sony vpccw17fx or something similar it's probably not the same issue, but here's a link to a fix just in case http://www.geoffcorey.com/setup-sony-nv … 17fx-xorg/
