System freezes after installing Gnome 3

Since I installed Gnome 3, my screen has been freezing up.
I have to force shut down. Which I hate doing, because it screws up my system:

I've read in another thread that people have been experiencing problems with Gnome 3 if they have NVIDIA drivers.
This might be my problem, but I need help in determining what I should do.
Some people suggested installing Nouveau, but I'm considering just uninstalling Gnome 3 and reverting back to 2.

Using gnome 2 on arch is a bad idea, because it is not being maintained(officially) anymore, try to install nouveau, i'm using it with very good results.
