xorg && 7-current && ( kde || nvidia driver ) == desktop crash

Okay, I've exhausted every google search I can think of, and not getting 
anywhere, so now to ask ...

Just upgraded my motherboard / CPU (old one fried out) ... picked up an 
ASUS P5Q with a Quad Core Intel CPU ... everything boots / runs fine, 
until I try and start up X ...

If I use the 'nv' driver in my X conig file, and the twm window manager, 
everything starts up fine, I can load Firefox, etc, etc ...

As soon as I switch from nv -> nvidia and start, the screen goes blank and 
the machine reboots ...

If I switch from nvidia -> nv and use '/usr/local/kde4/bin/startkde', the 
screen goes blank, and the machine reboots ...

I just installed icewm, and using that, everything loads up fine too ...

So, I figure there is something that I'm either missing in my install, or 
that I've configured wrong that kde is trying to use, but I'm at a lose as 
to what ...

Can anyone help?

Thanks ...
