here is the V2 Log collector

I have previously tried restoring windows, and clean installing the GPU drivers.

Answer 1

All five of the collected mini dump files displayed misbehaving Nvidia GPU drivers.

.

The current Nvidia GPU driver is 31.0.15.3179.

This was the same version displayed in the opening post link.

.

.

2)Uninstall the Nvidia GPU driver using DDU.

Install an older version.

.

3)If multiple versions of the Nvidia GPU driver cause BSOD then swap test the GPU card.

For swap testing either Nvidia or AMD can be used.
