After my transition to Windows 10, I've been having issues with playing any games more advanced than what you get in a browser. I BSOD with various errors including IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, DRIVER_POWER_FAILURE, and I think another one. Almost all of them attribute it to the nvlddmkm.sys failing and after I did a clean install of my computer (windows 10, nvidia, all other drivers), nothing changed. The errors take anywhere between 2-30 minutes into a game to cause the BSOD, generally depending on how intensive the graphics are. Also, Blizzard games tend to cause a blackscreen that cuts out, followed by a BSOD after a few minutes or until I attempt to turn the game back on. Something makes me fear that it might be a physical issue, but I'd like to exhaust all software issues before attempting hardware fixes.

Here are the dumps from after the clean slate:

I am unable to read dumps - I don't have the software but I can help with guesses based on the file it suggested. Irq errors are drivers, as is Driver Power State Failure

nvlddmkm.sys = Nvidia drivers

I would try this: http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-2767677/clean-graphics-driver-install-windows.html

Is this your model? http://www.msimobile.com/level3_productpage.aspx?id=367 cause its driver page is a 404 error which is always a good sign.

if its this one its got win 8 drivers at least: MSI GT70 One - I would update any that are newer that what you have now

Alright, tried that, it didn't change anything. I had a clean install of windows 10 a few days ago too, which also didn't change anything.
