Hi Asharus,
Welcome to the 10forums.
The Nvidia Video driver has been flagged in a crash where the memory is usually the cause.
Because there are more crashes where the memory is possibly causing it please follow the instructions below.
Run MemTest86+ to analyse your RAM. MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 10 Forums
Note
MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.
For more analyse, please read BSOD Posting Instructions
well it looks like i'm getting failures on the first pass. what's the next step, take a stick out and run it again?
ok, it looks like i have 12gb total with pairs of 2gb sticks. i tried using 1 stick and 1 slot only but it wouldn't get past the POST.
i've run 8 passes through the first pair and there were no errors. i stuck another pair in the same slots before i left for work.
it may take some time to figure out which stick (or slot) i'm having issues with.
well i just looked at my mobo's manual and i figured out why it wouldnt POST with 1 stick. slot #1 is actually the 2nd slot over, and i apparently had the single stick in slot #2.
It turns out I have 2 bad RAM sticks. I've created an RMA for them, and currently running 8gb instead of 12gb while they are in transit. Hopefully this was the cause of my BSOD issues.
