XAMPP - Error: MySQL shutdown unexpectedly

I have reinstalled XAMPP for some reason and MySQL is not working, giving the following error in the console:

01:56:03  [mysql]   Error: MySQL shutdown unexpectedly.
01:56:03  [mysql]   This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies, 
01:56:03  [mysql]   improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
01:56:03  [mysql]   Check the "/xampp/mysql/data/mysql_error.log" file
01:56:03  [mysql]   and the Windows Event Viewer for more clues

When checking the "/xampp/mysql/data/mysql_error.log" file I get:

That is just a part of the log, the full one is a bit too big.

Help?
