The nvidia driver probably isn't responsible, but I suggest you disable
it so we can rule it out.

More importantly, a machine check exception (MCE) indicates faulty
hardware - this could be the processor, motherboard, memory (if it has
ECC) or even an expansion card.  Whatever it is, that is quite likely to
be the cause of the problem and must be fixed before we do any
investigation of software.  You should find some record of the MCE in
the kernel log which may provide a hint as to what is faulty.
