Although I googled the hell out of this, I didn’t find any reliable information on these Xid codes.

So here is my attempt to collect as many NVRM: Xid messages and a possible meaning or explanation for them.

NVRM: Xid (0002:00): 6, PE0001 – This one drives me bat-shit crazy. It seems that it can be a sign for a broken gfx card…

Solution attempt: If you have an AGP card, set “GW-Write Mask AGP Request” in your BIOS to ENABLE. (nV News Forums)

Solution attempt #2: Driver Version 191.07 seems to be quite stable for me. I’ve been working with it now for some months…

NVRM: Xid (0003:00): 8 – Operation timed out (NVIDIA forums)

NVRM: Xid (0002:00):13 – Seems to be similar to a segmentation fault, at least with CUDA (NVIDIA forums)
