X keeps freezing when Xscreensaver and xcompmgr are running

I'm currently running Openbox with xcompmgr and it seems to make X completely freeze up at random.  I'm unable to even switch to a tty and have to reboot.  The xcompmgr command i'm running is below:

xcompmgr -c -r10 -F -f -D5 -C -o0.8 &

This also happens when xscreensaver kicks into gear.  It seems to freeze up completely at random but over the course of 12 hours it has frozen up in one of these instances at least 3-4 times a piece.  I'm unable to place my finger on what's going on with X or my nvidia driver to fix the issue.

Below is my xorg.conf

$ uname -a
Linux arch64 2.6.29-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Apr 29 15:36:46 CEST 2009 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6400+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
$ lspci

anyone have any ideas?
