This happens even with the non-proprietary driver as the card doesn't
sanitize memory on boot like it should.

Nvidia has a bad attitude in regards to security and open source
software, after all the time I wasted with their Code 43 "Bug" when
trying to attach a geforce GPU to a VM for VM gaming I will never buy
another green graphics card.

What a shame the opengraphicscard project died.
