BSOD Caused by nvlddmkm.sys
I'm not sure where to put this, since most of my issues are non-BSOD issues, but I feel like they are related.
I just recently built a new computer, and besides a monitor I had to send for repairs, it was working fine until I upgraded the PSU, added a second graphics card with NVLink SLI, and added a Samsung 970 Pro. The issues started off with Windows thinking there was something wrong with the graphics drivers. Upon booting into Linux, it would state the NVLink was unlinked and only one graphics card would show up (the second one I put in). The issue continues to happen until I power off the computer completely, turn off and on the switch on the PSU, and restart the computer.
After having that issue a few times, I upgraded the BIOS and drivers on Windows, and while it was idling earlier today, I got a BSOD, namely SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED caused by nvlddmkm.sys. The computer hit 100% on collecting info and froze, forcing me to hit the reset button. I later tried checking for RAM issues via a test Windows provides, and that too froze. I reset the computer, checked BIOS settings, and upon saving and exiting, another freeze. I shut down the computer and did the same thing I did to "fix" the NVLink issue from before. Computer is working fine so far, but I'm certain I will continue to have issues.
Basically, I'm wondering what the likely cuplrit(s) are.
