Windows 10: My computer is SERIOUSLY messed up.

Many things love to crash on a regular basis on my computer. Games such as Ultrakill and Gorilla Tag, web pages, even the system itself sometimes. The bluescreen message is always different, but most if not all of them have something to do with the kernel.Here's an error message I found in event viewer when Ultrakill crashed:Faulting application name: ULTRAKILL.exe, version: 2019.4.40.50731, time stamp: 0x62a10ec3Faulting module name: nvwgf2umx.dll, version: 31.0.15.3623, time stamp: 0x64826927Exception code
