Congratulation, I know how you feel.
I had the same problems with my nVidia card too.

You may want to wait on Koffice until after it achieves stability and you can
open and close MS files (where for historical reasons everything is stored).

For you folks who disagree the fastest way to crash - defined as generating a

Kspread. Both of these operations are guaranteed core dumps.
