Asus ROG G20AJ Crashing with Windows 10

[ishredder12]

I updated to windows 10, roughly 2 months ago. Before that in windows 8, my PC would occasionally black screen, and audio loop, and then shut itself down when gaming. And only gaming. After upgrading to windows 10, it has become more of a persistent problem, crashing very often, and sometimes not even when I'm gaming. It will occasionally be able to recover, only to say that it is a problem with my display drivers. I have used every single one from Nvidia's display drivers since windows 10, and it crashes with all of them. It does it with most games I play. Usually after it crashes, and, and I leave it for 8 hours, it works fine after that. My GPU temp. when gaming is 60-80 degrees Celsius (140-176 degrees Fahrenheit). My CPU temp. when gaming is around 60-70 degrees Celsius (140-158 degrees Fahrenheit). My fans run at max when I game, but the temperature's stay quite high. I made a mistake of buying a pre-built rather than building my own. The pre-built is an Asus ROG G20AJ. It has a GTX 760 Graphics Card, A i7 4790 processor, and 8 gigs of RAM. I have overclocked in the past, but not recently. I do use dual monitors, one running at 1920x1080, and the second runs at 1024x1280. Any ideas of what the problem could be?

See if the issue prevails with only one monitor that runs at 1080p? Have you downloaded the drivers found on Asus's product page and on that note did you also update BIOS?

There is a note on BIOS 0703

G20AJ BIOS 0703
Must update the BIOS to Version 0703 before updating Windows 10.
BIOS Update: – Disable Multi-Display

That being said first update your BIOS with only one display and then proceed to install the rest of the drivers(if you haven't already). Nvidia have a new driver released with version 359.06 and is available here though, do note, you should follow this tutorial before installing your GPU drivers.

Have you thought about performing a clean install of Windows 10 and see how it goes from there? You'll need to backup your critical data onto another drive before you go clean.

I would also ask you to locate your .dmp files, upload them on a file hosting site and share a link for us to go through them.
