Most of the time it comes back after a second or two but occasionaly the screen blacks out permanently and I have to log out to restore it.

Is this a new installation or was this working earlier? In case this was
working before, which kernel, driver and Xorg versions did you use at
that time?

Could you please try the newer driver releases in testing (260.xx) and
unstable (270.xx)?

Thanks.
