Hardware NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti

For no apparent reason my video driver failed after working for one month. I used the current driver. Than I tried the ppa driver from x-swat 285.05.09-0ubuntu1. I get the same error. jockey also fail when re-installing the nvidia driver. I had to ininstall as follows: apt-get-install nvidia-current.

xorg.conf have this cryptic error:
