Multiple Bluescreens (DPC_WATCHDOG, VIDEO_TDR) after upgrade

Hello! I've been having issues after upgrading to Windows 10, so I figured I'd see if I could find some answers about it here.

Essentially, ever since I upgraded, my computer (which has had its issues in the past, admittedly) has been crashing repeatedly, multiple times per day, exact amount varying with what I'm doing. The most common error according to WhoCrashed is Video_TDR_ERROR, followed by DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION, and HAL_INITIALIZATION_FAILED.

I've noticed it crashes more often when playing a flash video or similar streaming, followed by media players, and then even sometimes when just browsing the web. The majority of the time, it will freeze first, repeating a sound loop varying from a split second to a full second or so until it finally bluescreens.

I've taken the following steps so far to try fixing it, after some google searching:
*Rolling back Nvidia drivers to .30
*Completely removing the nvidia drivers with the uninstaller utility, and then reinstalling them again
*Reinstalling sound drivers and wifi drivers.
*SFC checks, and DISM even when nothing was found
*Hard drive repair (Check disk and seatools)
*Virus scans

But no luck so far. I'm assuming it's driver/software related based on what I know of the errors and the timing of it all.

As a side note, I can't change back to 7 right now, it's a long story that basically comes down to the files getting deleted when they shouldn't have been. I'd also prefer to avoid Restoring, as that removes all programs (Effectively, I don't have any from the Store), which defeats the purpose of upgrading instead of doing a clean install, unless someone knows of a 'repair' installation option like Windows 7 had, that keeps ALL programs installed, but I can't find anything like that.

Attached the generated archive.

I signed up just so I could post this, hopefully it helps you. I have been having a NVidia driver crash a few times a day since upgrading to windows 10. Particularly when I stream video.

I made the following setting changes I found someone had done on a windows 7 machine and I haven't had a crash since. So far it only has been a day though. It might be worth trying until they get a fix done, if it works for you.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\GraphicsDrivers

TDrLevel = 0 (new 32 bit d-word if you don't have it)
TDrDelay = 2 (I believe this is actually default already, you might try adjusting it. same 32 bit d-word)

I would recommend doing a little more searching if you want more info on what it does.
