How do I stop constant repeated "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped"

If my M8 runs out of battery, upon charging and rebooting, I get the "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" constantly - about every half a second, when clearing the error message. It essentially makes using the phone near impossible. I also get mixed other errors, such as Google Exchange services has stopped working, Gmail has stopped working, etc.
I also lose all launcher settings when this occurs.

Is there a fix for this?
