Windows 10: Been constantly having BSODs, sometimes when idle and while playing games. What can I do...

So here's the problem, for the past few months I've constantly gotten BSODs when trying to run specific games or even when leaving my computer idle. The ones I seem to get are: VIDEO_DXGKRNL_FATAL_ERROR, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, as well as a few others. Videodxgkrnl seems to only happen whenever I try to run specific games, either happening immediately after I boot the game, or happening a few minutes after running the game, for example it immediately failed when I tried to run Fallout New Vegas, whereas it failed a few minutes after running FURI and Portal 2.

I suggest you to update the Graphic Card drivers by following the steps provided below and check if it helps.

• Press Windows key + X, select Device Manager.
• Expand Display Adapters.
• Right click on the driver and select Update Driver Software.
• Follow the on-screen prompts to update.
