When i try to install the driver using "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx" (as in ubuntuguide.org) everything installs ...but then when i restart x (ctrl+alt+backspace) or restart the comp ... the machine reboots at the point when x is trying to come up.
So then i tried installing the official nvidia drivers. Since it didnt have precompiled module for the kernel (i'm using the one that came with 5.10) it build it (i downloaded gcc 3.4 for that and kernel headers), but the same thing happens again. Every time it tries to start x it reboots.
I could do with some help here.

On second thought... does your machine startup with X by default? If so, please paste the line from your /etc/inittab that mentions the X startup. The easiest way to spot this line would be, that the second field (runlevel) would have 5 as the value. The first field would probably be named x and the final field which actually mentions the command to be executed should have the X startup script as the value.
