That problem CERTAINLY isn't with Wine.

If a program under Wine can kill a system, then either there's a
kernel (driver) bug or we have an OOM condition gone to hell or the X server
is running amok (mostly font server issues). And maybe some more smaller
issues.
Since you name Nvidia drivers, it's most likely yet another case of slightly
but fatally buggy graphics drivers (sound drivers, ...) hanging the system.
