That indicates that latest crash is also related to the graphics drivers, if you cannot find a version of the drivers that is stable on your system, it may be best to get your hardware tested at a PC Repair Shop.

Hey, couple months ago my pc started crashing very often, and recently its turned in to a blue screen of KMODE EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED. The crashing usually only occurred during gaming, it has now gone further to turn into this blue screen and happened twice so far without me having a game open.
- I've tried the following
- Run the memory diagnostic tool
- Removed and swapped the memory slots over
- Unplugged all cables and re-assembled
- Installed windows on various hard drives (SSD and HDD)
Not sure what it causing this, will attach a minidump

2024-05-27T09:06:44+00:00 I just tried this, and the blue screen went away along with the issue being slightly better, but eventually my pc went back to its old way of crashing which was my screen freezing with the audio playing for a bit before restarting.

2024-05-27T06:11:31+00:00 Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.
Your minidump files indicate that it is the device driver on your Nvidia graphics card that is causing the system to crash
Completely remove the current Nvidia device driver using the widely available free DDU utility, then restart your PC and go to the Nvidia website to download and install a slightly older version of the Nvidia device driver.
A slightly older version of that driver is more stable than the latest version.
