    The workup is in progress.

    If Steam easyanticheat and Nvlddmkm.sys remain uninstalled and there are new BSOD then workup hardware.

    If there are no BSOD then they can be reinstalled one at a time with a 3 day windows to see whether they may or or may not cause BSOD upon reinstallation.

    If you can reinstall both without recurrent BSOD then your set.

    So it's a three day window to evaluate the computer without the two drivers.

    Then it's another three days to test with one driver.

    And then it's an additional three days to test with the second driver.

    In general three days without a BSOD should be sufficient however there are times in which more observation time is needed.

    For any BSOD post a V2 into the newest post.
