gqview bring system to crash

Hi,I'm having a really strange and annoying issue with gqview.
whenever i try to open an image with it,or simply when i try to run it from the command line,either as user or as superuser,gqview open up and then freezes the system.
the system is completely locked,and i have to reset it.

i've tried to re-install gqview,both from pacman and from abs,but the problem is still here.
i've searched in the system logs,and found nothing useful,except this,that show up exactly after gqview's start:
Jul 26 22:20:22 darkstar NVRM: Xid: 13, 0000 02005600 00000056 00000c28 002000f9 00000080

however i'm not sure this is related in some way with the problem.
gqview worked properly in the past,and as far as i remember,i've not made relevant updates right before the problem's start (2,maybe 3 days ago).

any clues?

Your error in the message log seems to indicate a problem with nvidia drivers...  I didn't read that thread through, but there may be some solution there.

Re: gqview bring system to crash

thanks,it seems the problem is the same. some bad behaviour of nvidia drivers.
i'll try with a downgrade of the drivers, i remember an update of nvidia drivers not a long time ago,and maybe that's the root of the problem.
thanks:)
