[Solved] Wine and Xorg crash very badly

I all,
I'm using wine 1.1.14 and when I try to play any game all the system crash and become unresponsive: I can't restart X with ctrl+alt+backspace and  the Sysrq magic key doesn't work.
Wine crashes in about 0 to 10 minutes EVERY time no matter which game I'm playng.
I don't know if it is a wine, Xorg, Kernel or nvidia driver problem but a month ago wine worked like a charm. I've tryed to compile wine from git but the problem is the same.
Xorg.log, error.log, kernel.log, don't report anything strange.
When the system hangs there no way I can restart/reboot or do anything, the only thing I can do is an hardware reset... and this sucks very badly
There is a way I can test if the problem is related to xorg or wine or whatever else?

I've tried to run the game trough winedbg but the result is the same... catastrophic failure and hardware reset
Thank you for your help

[EDIT]
I found also Google Earth made my pc to freeze.... Is the linux port of google earth based on wine like picasa? If yes is still a problem of Wine otherwise is something about Xorg/nvidia/kernel.
And why the hell the sysrq magic key doesn't work?

Re: [Solved] Wine and Xorg crash very badly

I've installed nvidia 180.29-beta driver from AUR and now all works well.
It seem a nvidia 180.22 driver bug
