X freeze with NVRM: Xid 8 and 13 error, help.

My hardware: Nvidia Gtx 275, Core i7 920, ASUS P6T, OCZ Gold 6G ram.

I was using my Archlinux surfing the web, suddenly it become very slow and choppy, while the screen start looking funny. It doen't really hang, but freeze for a few second and come back, then freeze a few second again. I struggled to open top finding nothing is using the CPU, 0% uasage. Since it is not usable, I have to reboot.

Here is the message found from /var/log/error.log, after reoboot:

I googled for a while,  it seems it is a fairly comment problem before, but I could find any thing conclusive. Can any one shed some light for me?

Thanks.

Update: I am sure that it is not a temperature problem.
