"Windows has just recovered from a serious error"

That's the message I got when Windows started back up. I'll shorten the debug report since most of the debug messages aren't relevent and there are a ton of them.

Successfully updated karma reason!

dont think this is a bug in the game, it looks like there is a problem with one of the drivers for your hardware. Right click on my computer, select properties, and in Hardware tab select the Device Manager. Now, is there anything listed in there with a yellow exclamation point or a red X. Also you might want to check dells website and see if there are any Driver updates.
