Windows 10: Windows Hardware Error LiveKernelEvent Error 117

I received two critical errors in reliability monitor between the space of three days. The description in RM is a problem with your hardware caused Windows to stop working correctly
I noted the exact time stamp of the occurances and found in Event Viewer under Windows Logs>System the NVIDIA graphics driver nvlddmkn stopped responding and successfully recovered. I believe this process of detection and recovery is TDR. The GPU scheduler calls the display miniports drivers to reinitialize the driver and reset the GPU.

I dont know whether it might be virtually impossible to find what caused the Windows Hardware Errors without some sort of understanding of the circumstances that caused it. A starting point would be narrowing down hardware or software.
My system specs are visible on the forum. The discrete graphics card is a GTX 1060 6GB. I think the minimum recommended power spec is a 400W PSU. My PSU is rated 460W. Im not a games player. Ive never experienced a BSoD leading up to or after these LiveKernelEvents. The only accessories connected are a monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, and printer. The desktop towers fans always run extremely quiet.

The concern isnt whether it was operating within its 460W limits, but the response when a change in demand occurred while just performing basic fundamental tasks. Im guessing there may be a power transient response issue. Basic fundamental tasks like web surfing, retrieving emails, opening saved files in Windows file explorer were being perfomed just prior to these errors. Now there are 2-3 second delays from keyboard strokes and even no keyboard response at all from the command prompt window.

The PC manufacturer incorporated a built-in diagnostics that can be performed on all the hardware from outside Windows in the advanced boot menu. The scans only test basic functionality of components and it also doesnt perform stress tests. All tests passed when I ran the hardware scan.
I dont know if the consistency of the two events on the two different days when the graphics driver stopping and recovered could be considered a validated fault. Nevertheless, I performed a clean uninstall/install of the graphics driver on the same day immediately after the second LikeKernelEvent error occurred.

Its been five days since the second LiveKernelEvent 117 without any re-occurrences.
When I read about the Furmark GPU stress Test on this forum and performing the benchmark, my first concern was a slowdown of the graphics card due to putting the GPU under immense stress and hitting an over-temperature or disabling over-current protection mechanisms designed in the card and causing permanent damage.

Its not like I have a box of spare components sitting around to start swapping out. Even if I had a higher rated modular PSU, replacing it is an undertaking in itself, but thats my opinion. Removing the motherboard, heat sink, and fan, plus adding an adapter for the factory installed optical drive.

Any suggestions on doing a fault-find to address correcting the errors?

LiveKernelEvent 117

Several times over the last few days i have had this error. It has occurred while the PC is idle, while on the web or even gaming. The Screen goes black and sound still plays (when gaming) nothing can get me out of that screen so i have to restart. When
it logs back in check reliability history and i always have this error listed. A few times it has occurred several times in one day.

There are no device issues, so im not sure what else to check, any advice?
