Wait a second, is ndiswrapper or nvidia driver freezing your system? 
If it is ndiswrapper and the nvidia is a typo, then see the almost
identical thread "ndiswrapper freezes system" for what's going on:

The short answer is recompile your kernel without
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK and everything should work just fine.  Is there
some reason that you are not using the latest kernel anymore?  You
should use the latest kernel and make sure the rest of your system is
updated.
