Attached are my support logs.

We are still looking at this, but there was only 1 person (hba) with the problem, and we could not reproduce the issue. However your problem is similar and looks to be the same issue.

I suspect this is very particular to the machines you have, as reproduction is not happening and you are the only 2 users with this particular crash (which I can confirm by looking at the logs).

Is there anything in the BIOS you can disable for NVIDIA to see if this makes a difference?
