Hi Sentoise, I'm Greg here to help.

It's a programming error which is usually best fixed by reinstalling the app in Windows Settings > Apps > Apps & Features > Nvidia software > Uninstall. Restart Windows.

BUT....unless you need this software to maintain display settings that WIndows itself cannot, I would not install it because you only need the driver, and as in the case with most driver bloatware it can cause unnecessary issues - especially if it's being allowed to freeload on Windows startup and therefore is always running.

If you don't need the software here is how to reinstall the driver without it if necessary: https://www.howtogeek.com/681225/how-to-downloa...

If you need the software reinstall it from https://www.geforce.com/geforce-experience/down...

If problems persist post back the exact error, and Go over Windows using this checklist to make sure the install is set up correctly, optimized for best performance, and any needed repairs get done: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

Start with Step 4 to turn off Startup freeloaders which can conflict and cause issues, then Step 7 to check for infection the most thorough way, then step 10 to check for damaged System Files, and also Step 16 to test a new Local Admin account to replace yours which may be corrupted. Then if necessary continue with the other steps to go over your install most thoroughly.

Feel free to ask back any questions. If you'll post back detailed results then I may know what to suggest next, if necessary.

BSOD with multiple stop codes

• Problem
  

The problem is that I get a blue screen of death (BSOD) frequently for a few months now, and it increases in frequency once I've had the first one. For example, if I leave my computer on for a while, it'll run normally for a few hours before I get my first BSOD. After I get a BSOD, I get a lot more afterward over the period of 30 mins - 1 hour. The stop codes I get are different every time so there's no way of saying which one I get the most.

• Problem history
  

I don't remember exactly when I had this problem or what triggered it. But at the time I hadn't changed any hardware components or installed new software. However, I used to only get the stop code IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. After some attempts of troubleshooting, I started getting all the stop codes besides IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL to this moment. I don't remember which step exactly of troubleshooting triggered this change though.

• Specs:
  

1. Windows: Windows 10 x64
   
2. Motherboard: Asus Strix B450-F Gaming
   
3. CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
   
4. Memory: Corsair CMK32GX4M2E3200C16 Vengeance LPX 32 GB
   
5. Hard disks: KINGSTON SA400S37240G / WDC WD10EZEX-21WN4A0
   
6. Graphics card: MSI GeForce RTX 3060 GAMING X
   
7. Power supply: don't remember exact model but it's Corsair 550W
   

• Troubleshooting:
  

1. Changed GPU (from GTX 1060 to current)
   
2. Changed RAM
   
3. Turned D.O.C.P off
   
4. Turned D.O.C.P on
   
5. Updated all drivers (chipset, graphics, etc..)
   
6. Updated BIOS
   
7. memtestx86 (no errors)
   
8. CheckHealth
   
9. Updated windows
   
10. Installed fresh windows (wiped everything) and reinstalled all drivers.
    
11. Tried different RAM that I am sure is not faulty
    

• Notes:
  

1. I tried installing fresh windows multiple times and I noticed that every time I get insanely many BSODs before I install the chipset driver. Then it returns to normal frequency as stated in the 'problem' section.
   
2. Every time I check the performance monitor I see the message below or something similar:
