Hello, over the past couple of days I've been getting intermittent BSODs after my computer has been running for an hour or 2. I was suspicious of a driver that Windows 10 updates had installed last week so I updated the driver via geforce experience. Afterwords I installed any windows 10 updates that at the time were failing. To fix the updates I had to run the windows 10 trouble shooter after which I restarted and the updates pushed through without an issue. Based off of the recent BSOD I think its caused from my GPU failing but I'm not sure. I bought it back in 2016. I'm also concerned because I was having issues with my PC when I first built it last year but I haven't had any problems since then. In that case it turned out to be a bad CPU and I'll link the thread above the WhoCrashed logged. I might be able to get a GPU from a friend but it is a 1060 from his old build. Any and all advice is appreciated!
edit: forgot to say current GPU driver is 466.47
edit 2: The last time my computer failed I didn't see a bsod but it did restartand then I got the VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR I did check windows 10 updates for today and the only thing was Windows Defender Definition update.

This might be a case of memory corruption. This may be because of a hardware issue such as faulty RAM, overheating (thermal issue) or because of a buggy driver. This problem might also be caused because of overheating (thermal issue).
A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: hardware.sys .
