I don't know if this will help, but I had the same problem, which started about two weeks ago on my HP laptop, which had worked perfectly up until then.
The machine would lock up, and eventually reboot, with the message that Windows had recovered from a serious error, and the option to search for an answer on the internet. When I did, I would get the message that the nvidia driver was the culprit. I made sure I had the latest driver, and had HP tech support check out my machines video, all to no avail.
In desperation, I rolled back the driver to a previous one, and bingo! It's been working perfectly ever since. I think the HP update software must have updated the driver automatically, which was why the sudden failure.
I have a different Geforce card from yours, but you might try changing drivers.
HTH,
