Kernel panic caused by Nvidia module?

Since kernel 3.6 I have often kernel panics, today I managed watch made this problem, I run on x server 6x glxgears and switch back to console, I got this:

I have tested my hardware with memtest86, hd tune on windows, no problems. And on win I run funmark for ~2h the GPU gets only 68C hot and runs stable. So it is a software problem, not a hardware issue. I have tested nvidia-beta, it is more stable but the problem still exist, just doesn't appear so often. My hardware:

kernel: tested on stock 3.8.8 and 3.8.6-uksm-ck, both have the same problem.

EDIT

Second I forget to add I am having problem with nvidia-settings too, after I boot system I can only run it once, when I closed it won't run again, just hangs and I can only kill it.

I recommend you report it to nvidia.

Re: Kernel panic caused by Nvidia module?

Hmm I am not 100% sure that nvidia module made this problem. I have attached a better panic screenshoot, now it doesn't show anything about nvidia:

Now I am testing kernel with acpi=noirq.
