Well, that's a kernel error. But:

you've got an Nvidia kernel module loaded. So the Fedora kernel
maintainers can't investigate.
My advice would be to run a memtest86 for a while to ensure that it's
not memory, do a fsck on your partitions (from the rescue CD) to ensure
you don't have any problems (although that's unlikely), and then report
it to Nvidia.
If this repeats, try reverting to the X.org nv driver. (You'll have to
make sure that the Nvidia kernel module is never loaded: if it once gets
loaded, the only way to really clear things is to reboot).
You might want to check that you've got the latest version of the Nvidia
kernel module. (This is sounding like "troubleshooting" Windows...)
Hope this helps,
James.
