I would love to be helpful - but i don't really know how to do that and then get back to the kernel I'm on. I don't even know if all my stuff (virtualbox, nvidia, etc) will work with it. Sorry not trying to be dumb, just not done that before. is there an easy way to do that?

The problem appears reliably every time. I get a an error reported, which i can see with dmesg. I can't save the error to a file - as saving files doesn't seem to work correctly after this error (e.g. vi error.txt, then save will hang) I'll add some details about the error here, and attach a screenshot.
