I'm not really sure what this means and i was unable to locate any other posts regarding this specific error. It's the first time I've seen this error. I've crashed probably 15 times in the last 4 days, which is more times than I ever have in the last 27 months combined. Any help in preventing the crashes would be much appreciated.

right off hand, it's a problem with your Nvidia drivers. There's a possibility they are corrupted.

This should resolve the issue.
