As of version (about) 331.20 to current 340.76 the driver do hands probably my GPU. In fact computer hangs after several minutes of work ultimately, no message, no log, shows smashed last picture on monitor and only reset helps. No, I don’t think this is because on overheating (other versions shows same temperature of about 65 Celsius).
Quite old version 319.82 worked fine but currently I can’t find a way to compile modern kernel module.
Version 304.125 works quite well, but shows a lot of problem with GLX, saying
libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
Even nvidia-settings crashes when trying to open OpenGL/GLX information tab, saying
The error was ‘BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)’.
(Details: serial 479 error_code 2 request_code 153 minor_code 3)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Using Fedora 22, the problem appeared in fact before Fedora 20, and no fixes since that time despite many driver updates.

Never (340xx) version is quite hard to test since it hands too quickly after boot.
