A few hours ago I installed 14.04 ubuntu and configured it for 2 hours and it just crashed and ran in low graphics mode. I was unable to fix this by (got very tired of it) and I just reinstalled it. Now I am afraid of the same mistake - should you, or should you not install propriatery nvidia drivers?

I would suggest going with the proprietary nvidia driver. From my experience, that seems to solve system crashes. Also, you have to reboot the system after installing the new drivers for the changes to take effect.

However, if the system crashed after you had installed proprietary drivers AND rebooted for the changes to take effect, I would stick with opensource.
