OpenGL Message - exceeding Windows Time-Out limit

Often when i play the game, this message pops-up:
"The NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver due to exceeding the Windows Time-Out limit and is unable to continue."

Never saw this before, but it's the third time today...

"Two possible solutions to try would be:

Reduce the graphics workload if possible, such as rendering to a lower resolution or with less detail.
Increase the timeout to allow more time to complete the really tough rendering parts. Microsoft provides the information on how to modify the Windows Registry to achieve this."

Please force a crash by pressing F3 + C for 10 seconds while ingame and attach the crash report ([minecraft|http://hopper.minecraft.net/help/finding-minecraft-data-folder]/crash-reports/crash-<DATE>-client.txt) here.

Please attach the complete output of the "Development console" of the launcher. CTRL-A, CTRL-C there, CTRL-V in the ticket.
If the launcher closes after game start, please edit your profile and select at "Launcher visibility" "Hide launcher and reopen" or "Keep the launcher open"

Thanks for the report, but this is no way near a bug in Minecraft. This is a technical support issue; this site is for bug reports only. For technical support please use the Mojang Support Center.

I'm getting the exact same problem. I was playing just fine, went into the nether all the game became very laggy then crashed giving me the same message as seen above. I've been playing since beta and this has never happened before, if it's not Minecraft it's one hell of a coincidence...

Just to add though, this has only happened to me on 13w41a snapshot.

Please force a crash by pressing F3 + C for 10 seconds while in-game and attach the crash report ([minecraft|http://hopper.minecraft.net/help/finding-minecraft-data-folder]/crash-reports/crash-<DATE>-client.txt) here.
