Sometimes it's easier just to Google for an answer. Googling for your
subject line returns nearly 2 million hits, so I'd start there.

This is the generic message gnome shell gives when something causes it
to crash on login. ;(

I'm not a gnome user, but I'd approach it like any other
computer/software issue:

When did it last work as expected?
What changed since then?

Did you apply updates? Reboot to a newer kernel?

If so, can you revert those things? Downgrade updates that might be
causing it, boot into previous kernel, etc.
