Is this still a problem? We obviously need more information such as, at least,
the kernel log. Could you provide it for us?

If you can't, please close the bug. We are aware that the gtx 580 is very
problematic.

I also have a problem with my GTX 580 and the Nouveau driver.

It goes like this: Booting into the system (Live cd or fresh install, Ubuntu or
Linux Mint or any other distribution with that driver, doesn't matter) and
after about 30-90 seconds it starts to slow down and finally freeze.

Sometimes the mouse is still moveable but the whole system is frozen. Only a
hard reset is possible at that time.

On the same PC I used older versions of Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Debian, ?
without any problem. This bug is "new" (I must admit, I didn't use
Linux for
about year on this PC).

The proprietary NVIDIA driver works flawlessly, if you manage to install it
(Over the console of course, tried it once with XORG and it froze mid
installation, no fun at all).

Question is: How do I get the kernel log for you? My Ubuntu installation runs
fine with the proprietary driver and when I start with a Live CD it freezes
very fast. That's a bit problematic.
