NVIDIA driver keep crashing on Windows 10

Hi,

As far as I know, many Asus monitors do not have WQHL driver on Windows 10 and are refered as Generic PnP Monitor in
Device Manager. The software on Asus download site is just an optional software, not a driver.

But I think I've found a solution myself, after doing these steps:

• Uninstall NVIDIA driver using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) and clean install it again.
• Open Device Manager, expand the Display Adapters menu, right-click on the graphic card's name and choose
  Update Driver.
• On the popup dialog, click on Browse my computer for driver software.
• Click on Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer.
• Select Microsoft Basic Display Adapter and click Next, wait for the installation to complete, then Reboot the system.

• After the system booted up, open the Device Manager and repeat those steps to get back to the list of the drivers on the system, this time select the right driver for the graphic card (mine is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970) and
  click Next, wait for the installation to complete, then Reboot the system again.

After this step, I've experienced no crash until now. I'll also delete those "ghost" devices and continue testing my system for several days to make sure the problem is gone.

I'm not sure why the clean install of the driver, or even Windows, does not work, but these switching driver steps does the trick.

I'll update more info later.

Thank you for your time. Best wishes.
