    multiple BSOD's without installing new drivers; windows update?


    i don't know where all these BSOD's are coming from.
    i haven't changed hardware & i haven't installed any software with drivers since these started.
    i checked the windows update list & didn't readily see an update suggesting new drivers were installed.
    i've tried to look into the situation myself using a program called 'whocrashed' but i didn't get far.

    One of the dumps indicates a problem with your Nvidia driver or card. You currently have the 341.95 driver from 1/28/2016.
    Try the newer 342.00 version.

    Remove and install latest Nvidia drivers:

    I suggest completely uninstalling the Nvidia display drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) from WagnardMobile (near bottom of page) then get the latest driver for you Nvidia card here: NVIDIA Driver Downloads

    Then do a custom install of only the NVidia graphics driver and the PhysX driver.

    See if that gets rid of the problem.

    I tested my ram & then stumbled upon changing the driver for my wifi adapter from one or the other of ralink & mediatek & that seemed to stop the bsod's (I don't remember if I changed it prior even though I said I didn't install a new driver - though if you look at my other recent post I made today, it appears i'm being assaulted with coercion as if to use Linux & it certainly isn't going to happen considering I've been experiencing various computer problems for years despite changing hardware to the extent of a whole new computer twice & there was a third motherboard in the timeline too .. causing stress, animosity, deprecation, & agony isn't going to force me to do anything other than rest as primal instinct because my body as a battery needs to recharge for health & stability to fight off distortion, while learning a new operating system additionally requires health & stability - though clearly my said point doesn't make sense to whoever or whatever is causing it, as my distortions are adding up).

    **edit**
    as far as graphics card goes, I've got two different ones & from time to time they've both appeared to be a hardware problem with the card - yet years later they continue to work without increasing problems that is expected from failing components on the circuit board & with that said, it appears to be a driver problem; though windows decided to auto update the graphics driver yesterday or the day before anyways.
