You have a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro and your log is referring to a problem with your NVIDIA graphic card.There are a lot of Mid 2010 15-inch MacBooks Pro with defective NVIDIA graphic cards that may cause unexpected restarts, black screen, kernel panics... Fortunately, as it&#x27;s a general problem, Apple is repairing all those Macs for free &gt; http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale&#x3D;en_USThe only thing you can do is to make a backup of your files and take your Mac to an Apple Store to get it repaired. The whole logic board will be replaced, so this may take days, depending on the availability of the logic board that your computer needs.If you need your computer now, you can install gfxCardStatus &gt; http://gfx.io Then, open it and put gfxCardStatus into "Integrated Only", so your Mac will only use your Intel graphic (that works without any problem). However, the graphic performance will decrease and you must only do it if you have to do something important with your Mac. In conclusion, take your Mac to an Apple Store as soon as possible

VanDeam --It looks like a Graphics Card error.  And that&#x27;s a Kernel Panic, not an ordinary crash.  It should be fixed ASAP.  I would take it to an Apple Store, and stop using it until you get there.
