I've been researching this and I found out that many people get BSOD'd trying to fix it so you should maybe backup any important stuff.
But most likely you probably have all that on your linux platform anyway.
The first thing I would do is maybe system restore, thats probably my favourite feature for windows. Best thing ever created imo.
What I have found is that:
If you have an EVGA 680i mobo or any 680i mobo, downgrade on drivers.
Downgrade on all recent drivers. The most common cause to this problem was downloading
nVidia's GPU drivers. Downgrade on those ones and also there is no need to buy a new video card because of that (Kommy).

If all else fails, trying using 32bit or run CS in OpenGl, Software or D3D.
