Panic Restarts due to Apple Mux Control?

For the past two weeks, my computer has been randomly restarting upto six times a day. I usually have Microsoft Word and one of the internet browsers open all the time. I looked at the Diagnostic report on Console, and the report seems to backtrace the restart to applemuxcontrol (full report below). I was advised yesterday by an Apple tech to reinstall my operating system (mountain lion), which I did. However, within 30 minutes of using my computer again, I had two panic restarts. How do I stop these, and what is Apple Mux Control??? Thanks!

Interval Since Last Panic Report: 5220 sec

You have a Mid 2010 15-inch MacBook Pro, and your log is showing a problem with your dedicated GPU.

Mid 2010 15-inch MacBooks Pro have got a defective dedicated GPU that may cause unexpected restarts, black screens, kernel panics... See > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088

Fortunately, Apple is repairing all of these MacBooks for free if you purchased the MacBook less than 3 years ago, so make a backup of your files and take it to an Apple Store or reseller. I recommend you to print the log.

If you have a look at the first lines of your log, you will see "GPU Panic", that shows a GPU issue. Also, you will see graphic extensions below "Kernel Extensions in Backtrace"

I had a similar problem... here is what I did and is working so far: Okay this is what I did and it seems to solve the reboots for now. I downloaded and installed Istat menus. You are able to controll the speed of the fans. It looks like the whole kernel panic is from over heating either to the gpu or other parts. I have the fans on the highest possible setting and so far no reboots or freezes. Istat is I think 14$ which is much cheaper than replacing the video card.

Im not affiliated with istat at all but it helped me

Everyone keeps saying controlling fans is not recomennded. Is that even safe?
